The Venice Sofa is a great sofa to behold. It has very clean majestic lines. A true, traditional classic, but with a shape and style which defies time. It looks magnificent in both fabric and leather, incredible with both large patterned and plain fabrics. The pea arm makes it ideal to lounge in but it also makes an excellent sophisticated statement. The Venice sits equally well in a city pied-a-terre or in a country estate. Having the Venice guarantees that your home makes the right statement.

History: The Venice is named after the Italian City of Venice, the capital of Veneto. Venice is considered as one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in the world.

Beautiful classic piece- this daybed chaise carries more then 200 years heritage in design, still with the right fabric it can get a modern charm!

The history of the daybeds starts at the ancient Egypt times- even at that time craftsmen were able to create daybeds- not really similar in look to the later ones, but the function was the same: provide a comfortable place for shorter daytime rests, sleeping, reading.

Though during the weekday rushing the functionality maybe lost, but the design experience still makes these pieces unique: and sometimes it can really motivate you to have some rest during the day- and continue with refreshed body and mind!
With the sensitive price (not effecting the quality of manufacturing) of this daybed we’d like to empathize our opinion and make it available to you: that you really need some rest in this running world.

A quality bespoke furniture manufacturer is happy to share with you useful Sofa Buying.

There are no set rules in buying a sofa. It’s all about personal taste and preference but unless you want to replace your sofa too quickly, you have to answer these questions to determine what’s right for you:
About the Sofa Size: Sofa Classics says that the size of your sofa may not be determined by the space you have but by whether you live in an apartment, a house, on the ground floor or upstairs. You need to know the maximum height and width of your doors, stairs, elevator and hallway to make sure the sofa gets into your home.
Some sofa manufacturers like other things to consider.

Leather, Fabric or  Eco-friendly

Choose material that matches your life style, that looks good, can hide soils and will last you long enough to recoup money spent!

To get the best from your sofa, determine:

  • How the sofa will be used?
  • How often it will be used.
  • Are there animals and kids around?
  • What is you preferred material, leather, fabric or others
  • What the room traffic will be (how many people will use it at any one time?)
  • What the room traffic will be (how many people will use it at any one time?) If you answered yes to most of the above, choose textured and heavy pattern materials link to one of the Sofa Pages.  These will last long and hide stains and accidents by you and the kids.
  • What the room traffic will be (how many people will use it at any one time?)

Knole Sofa

Posted by admin | Posted in Bespoke Services, Produtcs | Posted on 24-02-2011

Tags: , , , , ,

A Knole Sofa is not just a piece of furniture; it is a classy work of art.  From their history, fabric, style and construction, you can see they have an excellent pedigree and are a significant mark of quality in the world of furniture.  These impressive, practical furniture pieces can be purchased bespoke, brand new, second hand, or as period antiques through specialists or at auction houses.

No one knows exactly when the very first Knole sofa was made.  However, we know that the most famous example originates from about 350 years ago in 17th Century England, in the county of Kent.  It is there that a sofa of high quality, using the finest English traditional upholstering was created for Knole House; a stately home (the ancestral seat of the Sackville family) in Sevenoaks, from where the sofa takes its name.  Occasionally referred to as ‘the Knole Settee’, some believe that it was the early prototype of the first Knole sofa.  Whatever the truth, experts agree that the Knole sofa that still sits in Knole House is a fine example of the superiority and sophistication of this style of sofa.

Knole sofas still exude the style, class and quality that continue to make them popular today. Knole sofas can be made to measure and covered in any fabric or leather.  Due to the custom nature of so many Knole sofas, they can be made to any size.  At first glance, the Knole sofa doesn’t appear to be the most comfortable piece of furniture created.  With high sides, tall upright back and drop down arms tied by elaborately braiding, it looks rather unusual, but its solid beech frame and wide seats made of Irish duck feather offer unsurpassed space and comfort.

The drop-down arms are a fascinating feature of this excellent example of finest quality furniture.  When fully dropped down, they allow the sofa to be used as a bed.  When fully raised, they keep out the cold, creating a very snug and cosy place to nestle for the evening. In the days before central heating, this was a Godsend for a chilly night.  These days, it may keep the heating bills down!

Historically, it is believed that the high arms were intended to prevent curious servants from spying on what the lady of the house might be doing whilst her husband was away on business!  Whether this is historical fact, or fiction – it makes a great story to tell your visitors as they admire your very own Knole.

A bespoke handmade Knole is not a budget purchase.  It can cost anything up to £5000, but it is a piece of furniture that will last several lifetimes.  It is possible to purchase a pre-made Knole for less, but you will lose the exclusivity of a truly idiosyncratic sofa.  Nevertheless, that shouldn’t prevent you from looking for a great Knole for less; there are lots of places to purchase a beautiful two or three seater Knole for less than £2000.

Money Spent v Quality

That a sofa looks good and (or) is cheap doesn’t necessarily mean it  will give you a good return on money spent. Apart from needing to replace it quicker, a badly constructed sofa may be bad for your health. This is particularly true for people prone to bad backs.

It’s important to check:

  • The workmanship and how the sofa is constructed. You don’t have much say in mass produced sofas whilst bespoke and handmade can be specific to your needs.
  • Internal components and cushion fillers used
  • Quality of the upholstery. Your sofa must look and sit good. Is there enough padding? Check that patterns match the cushions and skirt, that stripes aligned at the edges.
  • Warranty period offered.

Salisbury Chesterfield is handmade in England by craftsmen with decades of experience in making fine, bespoke furniture.

Beautiful, large, classic chesterfield sofa with simple lines, but special details.

The Salisbury has straight arms and usually matching wooden bun feet, double buttoning at the apron and supplied with seat cushions. But using the power of its simplicity you can create a completely new style by choosing one of our special leathers or designer fabrics to cover it. You can have deep buttoned seat or leave it completely unbuttoned.
