I’ve always had a fancy for a Knole Sofa. Or several!

The iconic sofa has an incredibly rich history. The original, being over three hundred years old, remains at Knole House and was likely used by the likes of Vita Sackville West and Virginia Woolf. More recent incarnations have continued this tradition; Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh were famously pictured on their Knole sofa in 1946. Since then, Knole sofas have become statement pieces within many of our Houses, where they continue the connection between Knole and the artistic community.

And…at the risk of sounding greedy…I’d like the house seen here below to put a few of them in to too.

How Very Dare You. I don’t ask for much :o)
