The Knole sofa originates from Knole House in Kent, England, dating back to the 17th century. It is historically significant as one of the earliest forms of upholstered settees, characterised by its hinged or adjustable high arms tied with braids and finials.

Traditional Knole settees feature a solid timber frame, traditionally made from oak or beech, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and heavy textile upholstery such as damask, velvet, or floral tapestries secured with decorative brass nails.

Authenticity is identified through traditional joinery methods, hand-stitched upholstery techniques, original timber components, hand-carved finials, and the presence of operational wooden pegs or cords that allow the high sides to be adjusted.

A Knole sofa serves as a striking focal point in a traditional or transitional living room. Pairing it with minimalist contemporary furniture or neutral walls allows its historic silhouette and patterned upholstery to stand out without overwhelming the space.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment to remove dust, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and employing professional textile cleaners for any maintenance.
