Knole Sofa. Original Upholstery.

This venerable old Knole sofa is a new arrival here in the shop this afternoon. Complete with its stunning original terracotta silk and velvet upholstery and extravagant tasseled ties. The name Knole comes from Knole house in Kent where what is believed to be the early 17th.c prototype resides. The high sides were ideal protection from draughts and prying eyes and drop down to form a daybed.
Dimensions: width 65" x depth 31" x height 39"
