This Edwardian Knole sofa belongs to the Jacobean Revival style and uses wood, upholstery fabric, and braid trim. The corduroy upholstery comes in a gold beige colour, accompanied by braided ties, a tassel fringe along the base, and wooden corner finials on the high back. Drop sides enclose the two loose seat cushions, completing the traditional English Country House design. The sofa stands 88 cm high, 170 cm wide, and 80 cm deep. Position this seating in a formal living room, study, or drawing room to serve as a compact yet supportive settle for daily sitting. The piece brings period character and textured textile warmth to a traditional interior layout.

FAQs

A Knole sofa is a traditional seating design featuring a high back and adjustable drop sides secured to corner finials by decorative cords. Originating in the seventeenth century at Knole House in Kent, it was initially created as a formal throne sofa to protect occupants from cold draughts.

Traditional Knole settees feature a solid hardwood frame, deep-sprung seat cushions, heavy woven or velvet upholstery fabric, corner finials, and braided tassel cords used to secure the hinged side arms.

Authentic period examples exhibit traditional frame joinery, historic fabric fasteners, hand-braided cord trim, and turned timber finials. Genuine age wear on the drop-side adjustment mechanisms and upholstery edges also indicates period construction.

A Knole sofa serves as a focal statement piece in a contemporary interior when balanced alongside minimal occasional tables and neutral soft furnishings to highlight its historic silhouette.

Care should include gentle vacuuming of the fabric using a soft brush attachment, keeping the frame away from direct heat and sunlight to avoid fading, and engaging a specialist upholstery restorer for cleaning or repair.
