House of Ellory
Rothermere Sofa
A study in refined English country-house elegance, The Rothermere Sofa brings together timeless upholstery traditions, beautifully composed textiles, and the architectural sophistication of fine furniture making.
Distinguished by its gracefully sweeping arms, tailored silhouette, and richly patterned interior back, The Rothermere balances decorative expression with a sense of quiet restraint.
A pair of generously upholstered blue velvet seat cushions rests within a structured frame, offering a sumptuous contrast to the intricate botanical upholstery that extends across the interior backrest. Fine vertical stripes dress the arms and continue uninterrupted across the exterior back, creating a beautifully tailored appearance from every perspective.
Beneath the upholstery, a refined exposed timber base introduces warmth and architectural definition. Its clean horizontal lines and understated proportions provide a considered contrast to the softness of the textiles above.
The interplay of blue velvet, botanical motifs, classic stripes, and richly finished wood gives The Rothermere a distinctly collected character—one reminiscent of elegant country estates, distinguished drawing rooms, and interiors furnished over generations.
Designed to feel equally at home in a traditional European residence or a thoughtfully layered contemporary interior, The Rothermere is both a statement of craftsmanship and an invitation to exceptional comfort.
An original House of Ellory design, created for interiors where beauty, character, and enduring elegance are equally valued.
CRAFTSMANSHIP & DETAILS
The Rothermere Sofa is conceived with an emphasis on exceptional materials, enduring construction, and the precision of traditional upholstery craftsmanship.
Its architectural silhouette combines softly sweeping arms, a generously upholstered backrest, and two individually tailored velvet seat cushions, all supported by a refined exposed timber foundation.
PREMIUM HARDWOOD CONSTRUCTION
The Rothermere is specified for construction using carefully selected, premium-grade solid hardwoods, chosen for their strength, structural stability, and suitability for fine furniture making.
The internal frame is to be precision-engineered and reinforced at critical stress points, providing a durable foundation for the sofa's tailored upholstery.
EXPOSED TIMBER FOUNDATION
A distinguishing feature of The Rothermere is its visible timber base, which extends beneath the upholstered frame and continues into clean, architectural legs.
The base is designed to introduce warmth and definition while maintaining the sofa's refined proportions.
A rich, dark wood finish complements the muted blue upholstery and traditional botanical pattern.
EXCEPTIONAL SEATING COMFORT
Two generously proportioned velvet seat cushions provide a luxurious, supportive seating experience.
Premium high-resilience cushioning materials are specified to balance softness, comfort, and long-term shape retention.
The seating suspension is to be engineered for consistent support across the sofa's full width.
SIGNATURE TEXTILE COMPOSITION
Three complementary upholstery treatments define The Rothermere:
Luxury Blue Velvet
Richly textured velvet upholstery dresses the seat cushions and lower upholstered front, lending softness, depth, and a subtle interplay of light.
Botanical Back Upholstery
An original House of Ellory floral and foliage composition extends across the interior backrest, introducing decorative richness and European country-house character.
Fine-Striped Upholstery
Precisely aligned vertical stripes cover the arms and continue across the entire exterior back, providing a beautifully tailored finish from every perspective.
THE ART OF UPHOLSTERY
Particular attention is given to pattern placement, stripe alignment, upholstery tension, and the precise meeting of contrasting textiles.
The botanical backrest is framed by softly curved arms, while the velvet cushions are finished with restrained piping that complements the sofa's architectural lines.
The exterior back is upholstered in continuous vertical stripes, allowing The Rothermere to be positioned freely within a room.

VELVET CHARACTERISTICS
Velvet naturally reflects light differently depending on pile direction and viewing angle. Subtle variations in shading and surface appearance are characteristic of this luxurious textile.
BOTANICAL & STRIPED FABRICS
Avoid aggressive brushing or scrubbing, which may affect the appearance of the patterned upholstery.
TIMBER CARE
Dust the exposed timber base regularly with a clean, soft, dry cloth.

Final cleaning requirements should be confirmed against the approved upholstery and timber finishing specifications.
