The Berwick Fabric Sofa is ideal for those of us who like to curl up in a deep comfortable sofa. Although our standard size is very deep at 102cm, we can make the Berwick less deep and with seat buttons and fixed seat instead.
This sofa is a stayer and will last a lifetime. We supply it in 8 standard sizes but it can be tailored to your own requirements whether you are making a bold statement or whether your tastes are more conservative.
The arms have an elegant, large scroll which gives this sofa its classic looks. It seats comfortably and can be made to fit any space. It may also be supplied with seat buttons, in leather or customer’s own material. The legs can be one of our many designs with castors or wood. We are happy to supply the legs in any natural wood colour you wish or painted to any colour of your choice.
The history: The Berwick Sofa is named after the historic border market town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, a famous town which, during the wars between England and Scotland, changed sides 14 times. By the 13th century, it was Scotland's greatest seaport and its largest and wealthiest town. The port thrived on the export of wool, grain and salmon, and traders from Germany and Flanders set up home and businesses in the town to create a major international commercial centre, described by one medieval writer as the "Alexandria of the North".
