- This is an early 20th century interpretation of the infamous, sumptuously, upholstered, 17th century, couch with hinged arm rests, found at Knole Park, Sevenoaks, Kent, the ancestral seat of the Sackvilles made by the most eminent upholsterer of the early 20th century. - The original couch served the Dual purpose of bed and settee, and is one of the earliest examples of English, upholstered, seat furniture. In the late-19th century this model of settee was revived, particularly for Great Halls, bedrooms and galleries in large country houses for its early aesthetic, comfort and draught exclusion from the high backs. - These settees are extremely comfortable as well as injecting period atmosphere into the interior. They sit equally well within contemporary and historical interiors and jutapose with contemporary and modern pieces and art. - This is a particularly fine example, with a Grade II* listed Jacobean manor house provenance and almost certainly made by Morant & Co. It retains the original iron ratchets so the wings can be lowered to different heights. The inside and outside back, wings, seat and cushion are upholstered in a strie velvet and trimmed in the traditional manner with matching braid and fringe and studs. The strie velvet probably dates from the 1950's, as there is significant fading from the original pale green/aqua to a pale olive/old white. The adjustable padded wings are joined to the arms with original ratched iron hinges which are attached to the back. The arms are supported by oak turned uprights. The seat has a large loose cushion. Standing on original castors. English, circa 1900. During the late 16th-early 17th century a new form of daybed was introduced to match the contemporary upholstered 'X' chairs and stools. They were padded and upholstered throughout and the ends were let down on a toothed steel ratchet to enable the occupant to repose at full length. They were generally destroyed when the coverings had worn out at the woodwork was of little value. Similar couches were plentiful in France under Louis XIII and can be seen in Abraham Bosse's engravings of domestic interiors but they were only found at court and the houses of great noblemen in this country. When the contents of the Royal Palaces were dispersed after Charles I's execution a number of couches were included in the sale.
