PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
his remarkable convertible sofa perfectly embodies the timeless elegance associated with French decorative arts of the mid-twentieth century. Its design is directly inspired by the famous English Knole sofa, distinguished by its adjustable side wings secured with decorative cords and tassels.
The silhouette is characterized by dramatic flared wings crowned with turned brass finials, bringing refinement and sophistication to the composition. Combined with its generous proportions and strong architectural presence, the sofa reflects the work of leading French decorators of the post-war period.
The piece has been fully restored and reupholstered in a striking fabric featuring flowing zebra-inspired motifs in ivory, beige, and brown tones. The textile enhances its decorative appeal while preserving its timeless elegance.
Convertible and highly functional, the sofa combines comfort with decorative sophistication, making it ideal for refined residential interiors, hospitality projects, or collectors of twentieth-century French design.
