Richmond Chesterfield 3 Seater: Distressed Brown Faux Leather, Button-Tufted, Metal Legs
By Furniture1001 min read
The Richmond is the worn-in chesterfield: a three-seater with button tufting across the back, in a distressed brown faux leather on metal legs. It has the look of a club sofa that has been sat in for years, from the day it arrives, and it is the sofa for a room that wants age without the cost of hide.
What it is
A three-seater chesterfield-style sofa in distressed brown faux leather with button-tufted detailing across the seat back, on metal legs. The product page carries the same description as the Winston, so the facts we can state come from the title: distressed brown, faux leather, chesterfield, three seats. It does not state dimensions.
Who it suits
A living room, a study or a snug in a traditional, industrial or masculine scheme: exposed brick, dark wood, a rug with some pattern. The distressed finish is the point, and it is also practical, because new marks disappear into a surface that already varies in tone.
Faux leather, honestly
A coated fabric with a distressed finish, not hide. It wipes, it does not fade, and it costs a fraction of leather. The worn look is manufactured rather than earned, and it will stay as it is rather than deepening over years.
Richmond or Winston
Both are three-seater chesterfields in leather-look on metal legs. The Richmond is distressed brown; the Winston is smooth tan. Traditional and worn, or mid-century and clean.
Living with it
A damp cloth. Keep it out of hours of direct sun.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Richmond real leather?
No. It is faux leather with a distressed finish, and we say faux leather rather than leather. It wipes clean and holds its colour, and it will not patina the way hide does; the worn look is built into the finish from the start.
What does distressed mean?
A finish that is deliberately varied in tone, lighter on the high points and deeper in the folds, so the sofa looks as though it has been sat in for years on day one. It hides new marks better than a smooth finish, because marks read as more of the same.
How many does it seat?
Three. It is a three-seater and wants a wall of that length with room to pass one end.
How big is it?
The product page does not state dimensions, so check the listing and measure the route in before ordering.
Richmond or Winston?
Both are three-seater chesterfields in leather-look on metal legs. The Richmond is a distressed brown for a traditional or industrial room; the Winston a smooth tan for a mid-century one.
