The rolled arms and wood frame feel distinctly English in the best way, while the sapphire velvet adds unexpected richness without veering into fussy. It's equally at home anchoring a traditional sitting room or softening a more contemporary space; the key is pairing it with pieces that respect its considered proportions. Bear in mind: velvet requires regular brushing to maintain its nap, and the fixed cover means you'll want to protect it from heavy wear. A natural choice for anyone seeking a sofa with real character.
