About the Item

Mid Century Folding Down 'Knole' Sofa in Velvet and Brass, Europe, 1960s. This is a very wonderful mid century folding down sofa, a so called ‘Knole’ sofa or settee. It is named after a famous 17th century sofa / settee still located in Knole House, Kent (United Kingdom), a former archbishop'spalace currently owned by the NationalTrust. This is a more modern version with brass finials, tassels and a timeless yet classical design. Upholstered in a very elegant and suiting brown / olive green velvet, this is a very comfortable and stylish sofa. Both armrests fold down at various angles, so you can create a very comfortable seating or lying position. Comes in a very good and original condition with some slight wear on the velvet upholstery.
