The National Trust has been the backbone of Britain’s cultural identity since its formation in 1895. Preserving and protecting land and property, the name has almost become synonymous with classical grace and natural style. This season you can invite some of that style into your own home, with the new National Trust-inspired sofa from Darlings of Chelsea.

The Duresta Trafalgar three-seater sofa oozes the elegance of time-honoured design. From the beautifully hand-carved hardwood frame to opulent fabrics and fully coil-sprung seats, the sofa exudes quality and value. Each piece has been completed with a drop-arm design and duck feather scatter cushion for optimal comfort, while polished antique-finish legs – with castors at the front – provide aesthetic excellence and enhanced convenience.

The Darlings of Chelsea Duresta Trafalgar three-seater sofa is available in more than 75 fabrics, but the cream of the crop, and most in keeping with the timeless shape of the furniture, are those inspired by the National Trust.

Resplendent in stripes of regal purple and green, the Velluti upholstery brings a botanical feeling to a room; the rich mossy shade speaking of sheltered ferny bowers, with deep velvet iris shining like jewels amidst the verdure.

The Tunic Redcoat material carries rich, earthy tones into a home. With the repeating pattern picked out in golden thread upon the clay-coloured background, there is a warmth to this design which expresses open fires and cosy nights, with tasteful subtlety.

The final fabric is Green Sleeves Verdis Gris, which combines the dual interests of the National Trust; while the refined colour scheme would look every inch the part in a glamorous Georgian-era stately home, the motif brings to mind that home’s glorious gardens, blooming and alive.

Inspired by the National Trust, the sofas of the Duresta Trafalgar collection by Darlings of Chelsea will bring a matchless and enduring elegance to any home.
