The Chesterfield Sofa was originally designed in the mid 18th century. It has rolled back the same height as its rolled arms and is usually button tufted.
The main section of the CTL home was built in 1803 and has many period appropriate pieces. Our 2nd floor has only 7 foot ceilings. There is a Chesterfield in the sitting room. A high back sofa would be out of scale.
BTW>>>>I also own a Chesterfield Coat for winter dress wear.
We don’t keep Silver in the credenza…it’s in the foyer and holds gloves in the top drawers, and attaches, brief and mah jongg cases in the lower cabinets. Silver is in the breakfront and butler’s pantry.
