Rare 1950s Green Leather Chesterfield Sofa – Horsehair Filled – Handmade in England
A truly special piece: an original 1950s Chesterfield in a stunning heritage green leather with the kind of presence you only get from proper vintage furniture. This is the real deal — exceptionally heavy, solid, and beautifully built, with an old-school solid wood frame and traditional construction that modern replicas simply can’t match.
The leather on this is honestly remarkable for its age — supple, clean, and full of character, with a rich patina that gives it that unmistakable “proper Chesterfield” look. These are becoming very hard to come by in this level of condition and quality, especially in green.
Why this one is different (and collectible):
Authentic 1950s Chesterfield – not a modern reproduction
Handmade in England (traditional build)
Horsehair filled – classic period upholstery, comfortable and breathable
Solid wood frame – extremely sturdy and built to last generations
Iconic deep button tufting, rolled arms & stud detailing
Heavyweight, “built-like-a-tank” feel — you can instantly tell the quality.
Condition:
For a sofa of this age it’s in fantastic condition. The leather has been well looked after, presents beautifully, and the sofa sits solid with no obvious faults — a rare find for collectors and anyone who appreciates genuine vintage craftsmanship.
📍 Viewings welcome from Bridgeton, Glasgow
🚚 FREE delivery included in the price.
If you’re looking for a statement Chesterfield with history, quality and investment appeal, this is it. Pieces like this don’t come up often — especially in green, and especially in this condition.
£800 – very collectible & getting harder to find.
