Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

The Knole sofa originated in the early seventeenth century at Knole House in Kent, initially designed as an upholstered sofa-cum-throne for royal receptions. Victorian furniture makers revived the style in the nineteenth century, popularising its high back and signature drop-down sides tied to corner finials.

Victorian Knole sofas were constructed around solid hardwood frames, typically oak or beech, featuring hand-tied coil springs and natural fillings such as horsehair. The adjustable side arms are suspended by woven cords wound around carved wooden corner finials and upholstered in heavy fabrics such as velvet, damask, or woven tapestry.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples display hand-carved wooden finials with natural wear, traditional brass castors, hand-stitched upholstery webbings, and heavy iron or brass hinges along the drop-arm mechanisms rather than modern mechanical hinges.

A Knole sofa serves as a dramatic anchor piece in formal living rooms, library spaces, or grand entrance halls. Its high profile pairs effectively with classic timber furniture, contemporary neutral walls, or maximalist schemes featuring layered textiles.

Maintain antique textile upholstery by vacuuming gently on low suction with a soft brush attachment. Keep the item out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and consult a professional textile conservator for spot cleaning or structural fabric repairs.
