Features of the Chester sofa

• the presence of a curl on top of the armrest, which reminds us of the English classics under the influence of Baroque;
• the silhouette that has a Chester sofa expands at the top, while retaining the rectangular shape of the model;
• original refined decor, in the front part of the structure, not touching the place for sitting, has a rhomboid shape (capiton fastener), trimmed with point elements where the threads intersect;
