FAQs

A Knole sofa is a historic design characterised by a high back and adjustable, drop-down sides originally secured with decorative cords or ties. Originating in the 17th century at Knole House in Kent, the style was created to protect sitters from drafts while maintaining formal seating arrangements.

Edwardian versions feature a solid hardwood internal frame, typically beech or oak, with webbed and coiled spring seat construction. The upholstery commonly utilises heavy woven fabrics such as damask, velvet, or brocade, accented with passementerie, fringe trim, and brass hardware.

Authentic Edwardian examples exhibit traditional joinery techniques, timber frames with hand-tied coil springs, and substantial weight. Look for original mechanical drop-side hinges or ratchets, period-correct upholstery trims, and appropriate age-related patination on visible frame elements.

Place a Knole sofa as the focal point of a formal sitting room or library, pairing it with clean-lined side tables to contrast its strong silhouette. Balanced lighting and neutral floor coverings allow the detailed fabric and distinct profile of the sofa to remain the central feature.

Regularly vacuum the upholstery using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust build-up within the weave. Keep the piece positioned away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources to avoid fabric fading and timber frame drying.
