Price History
Description
A fully buttoned-up Chesterfield-style sofa with elegant contours and classic hand-tufting. The snaking curve at the front lends the Serpentine a softer, more feminine silhouette. Shown in soft and silky Revival Velvet Navy, with an intensely rich colour. Revival Velvet has an elegant short pile with a subtle, glamorous sheen.
Our Stylist Says
The Serpentine 3 Seater in navy velvet is a stunning statement piece that works beautifully in both classic and contemporary interiors. I love its timeless Chesterfield-style design, which adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. The rich navy hue pairs effortlessly with neutral tones for a refined look or can be used as a bold anchor in more vibrant schemes. For styling tips, consider pairing it with metallic or brass accents to highlight its vintage charm, or soften the look with plush throw cushions and a cosy rug. It’s also very practical, as velvet adds a luxurious feel while still being durable, making it a versatile choice for living rooms that need both style and function.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
