From country homes to modern apartments, the Knole sofa will give any space it graces it's unique style.

The history: The name Knole comes from Knole castle (also known as Knole house ). It is located in  Sevenoaks, Kent. 11 miles north of Royal Tunbridge Wells, on the A26-A225.
The site is now owned by The National Trust and opens Wednesday to Sunday from 17th March to 12th October, 12:00noon to 4:00pm.
The house was built in the 12th century, but the sofa was created in the early 1600’s. In the past the function of the removable arm was to exclude draught or when lowered, act as a chaise.  Although the draught issue doesn't apply as much nowadays, it is very comforting to relax on a sofa that cocoons  and wraps you up  protectively. The knole can offer these with it's high arms. And in this, our energy consumption and carbon footprintage watch age, having a sofa that reduces your heating bill can only be good. Apart frrom all these, the Knole Sofa is also very stylish with chunky  tassels (if prefered).

The additional function of a properly made Knole sofa may come in handy - a comfortable bed / chaise.
