Chesterfield 98" Distressed Leather Sofa, Malbec Vintage

Chesterfield Modern Classic Sofa

Updated Chesterfield sofas are often paired with modern and mid-century designs, providing a traditional touch while embracing contemporary styles. These updated designs are popular in eclectic spaces aiming to blend different eras.

Making the Icon

Kardiel's reproduction is a thoughtful study of the Chesterfield's origins, demonstrating that defining a Chesterfield involves more than tufting alone. Generous proportions, subtly rolled arms, an updated seat rail, and redesigned wooden legs showcase its modern adaptation.

The Chesterfield Sofa's history dates back to the 18th century, with its design evolving over time. Kardiel's version pays homage with a respectful modernization that fits any decor.

Distressed Patina Top Grain Aniline Leather

This sofa uses Distressed Premium Aniline Top Grain leather. Aniline dyed leathers have minimal pigment coating and develop a soft feel associated with raw leather. Kardiel’s distressed leather undergoes Aniline Vat dying, allowing color to deeply penetrate fibers, leaving the surface unaltered since only premier Italian hides are used. Post-dying, hides are manually buffed and distressed, resulting in a well-worn appearance with natural tonal changes. Over time, the leather ages gracefully, enhancing its patina.

Warranty3 year limited. Chesterfield's origins likely date back to the mid-1700s, with Lord Phillip Stanhope commissioning its original design. Its story includes a gift to his godson featuring deep tufting, mono-height frames, and rolled arms. The Chesterfield has been reinterpreted numerous times, always maintaining its trademark features. Today, it continues to adapt, enhancing both modern and traditional interiors.

100% Genuine Top Grain Premium Aniline Leather

Top Grain Aniline makes up only 5% of the world's leather supply, noted for its quality and softness. The leather is dyed thoroughly, retaining a natural appearance. Top Grain Aniline naturally absorbs spills but has a stain-resistant treatment suitable for low-maintenance use. It ages with use, becoming more comfortable. Unlike Split Grain, which mimics the look of top grain, this sofa uses the highest quality leather.
