If you're bored of the classic-looking sofas that all look similar and are instead looking for something slightly more unique and off the wall whilst still retaining that old-world elegance and regality then the Stone & Beam Bradbury Chesterfield sofa might be just what you're looking for.

And it comes with quite the story.

The name "Chesterfield" for a couch or settee has a rather grand history.

The first deep buttoned leather sofa in this distinctive quilted style was actually commissioned by the English Lord, Phillip Stanhope, the 4th Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773).

The Earl was quite a trendsetter in his day. He had the first Chesterfield couch, with its characteristic deep buttoned upholstery, rolled arms, equal back, and arm height, and nailhead trim, made by a local craftsman.

His aim was to provide his fashionable gentlemen friends with comfortable and luxurious seating in which they could sit without wrinkling their elegant and elaborate outfits of the time.

The style might never have caught on beyond his grand stately home however if not for (and I kid you not) his dying words! Legend has it that as he lay on his deathbed he was visited by his godson, a Mr. Dayrolles.

The genteel lord did not forget his manners even in his last moments.

He asked his butler to "Give Mr. Dayrolles a chair" - and promptly expired (RIP).

The chair in question, in the Chesterfield style, was duly fetched and Mr. Dayrolles, a young man of means who moved in society, took it away with him as his godfather's parting gift.

Luxury,  class, and quality. 

He and his friends were highly enamored by the distinguished-looking sofa, and soon everyone wanted one and they were being commissioned for all the great homes of British high society.

The Chesterfield has remained almost emblematic of British aristocratic style for over two centuries since, and this excellent modern rendition in the Stone & Beam Bradbury range is a true successor of its antique original ancestor.

With its low profile backrest and unique texture and classic scroll-designed armrests, this is a striking and elegant leather loveseat that will be a sure-fire hit with your guests and an excellent centerpiece for the more upmarket of man caves out there.

With its soft brown leather tones and overstuffed leather pillows, this is a deceptively comfortable loveseat with a rock-solid design and beautiful aesthetic.

And now you know its illustrious backstory, it's quite a conversation piece as well!

Available in 3 colours, Black, Brown, and Cognac (shown here) the two-seater sofa measures 78.7'' W x 39” D x 30.3” H. A 93-inch model is also offered and there are a matching living room chair and a plush and sturdy ottoman footstool in the range as well.

If you are looking at something on the more modest end of the price spectrum then this Cognac Leather Soft sofa in the Majesty series is a great consideration.

The Hercules is of decent quality and with a sturdy hardwood frame, 1.8 high-density foam, and that little bit of extra character and comfort provided by the cool flared armrests, its good looks are borne out by excellent craftsmanship and solid construction.

The brushed aluminum feet are a nice style statement too.

The upholstery is very durable - not 100% leather it should be noted. The textile is called LeatherSoft and is made from a mix of leather and polyurethane. Very practical, with a lovely soft feel, and easy to keep clean.

Simple but elegant, the lightweight Hercules is maybe not the choice if you are looking for your ultimate "reclining in the palm of your [chosen deity's] hand" experience but it's hard to beat if what you need is a stylish but comfortable extra seating solution (it will seat 3 comfortably) or have limited space to accommodate something plusher.

The neat and unfussy style and supportive backrest are just the things if you want a sofa for those times when you are only partially vegging out and want to remain a little more upright whilst you work on your laptop or a hobby.

A nice choice for an office sofa or geek-oriented mancave in fact.

A worthy addition to a sociable mancave or for those whose den is somewhere to retreat to when you need to get on with stuff. The Hercules is a stylish bargain.

The Hercules assembled dimensions are 30 x 68.5 x 31.2 inches and it weighs 99lb.
