The sofa’s name derives from Knole House in Sevenoaks, Kent, which is open to the public and run by the National Trust.
The Knole sofa was made in the 17th century. Originally used not as a comfortable sofa but as a formal throne on which the monarch would have sat to receive visitors.
A Knole sofa usually has exposed wooden finials at the rear corner tops. The arms are sides and are of the same height as the back. The side arms are tied to the sofa back by means of heavy decorative braid, often with a tassel. The arms can be raised or lowered and because of the high sides two people can face each other and have a private conversation.
