The company has supplied Hilton Hotels, G8 Summit, UK Ministry of Defence and numerous consulates and embassies.

ORIGINS

The Chesterfield was said to originate from the late 1780s when a piece of furniture was commissioned by the fourth Earl of Chesterfield. The Victorians gave this type of furniture a makeover during the latter half of the nineteenth century introducing a sprung seat and overstuffed upholstery. The original pieces had a sprung seat and not a separate cushioned seat.
