Oxblood Red Chesterfield sofas
The colour most people picture when they picture a Chesterfield. Oxblood is a deep, slightly brown-shifted red — closer to a claret than a postbox — and it is the shade that reads as a library, a members' club, a study.
How it ages
Oxblood darkens noticeably in its first two years, particularly on the arm tops and the seat front where hands and light do the most work. The buttons hold their original tone longest, which is what gives an aged oxblood Chesterfield its depth.
What it sits well with
Works hardest against dark green, deep navy and bare brick. It fights cool greys, and it is the wrong choice for a room that gets very little natural light — the red goes muddy rather than rich.
