Description
This is a large drawing room sofa. An English, mahogany two seat settee with show frame, dating to the William IV period, circa 1835.
Exquisite upholstery complements the striking display frame that presents a desirable aged patina, benefiting from very careful use. Exceptional figuring to the frame, with warm caramel hues. Traditionally stuffed throughout, with an appreciable depth of cushioning. Recent professional upholstering of the first order, with quality silk cotton.
Carved shell motif to the cresting rail, cascading in serpentine manner to the arms. Embroidered centrepiece to the back rest, with cherubs set within a foliate frieze. Broad, rolled arms with a sumptuous cushioned covering and accompanied with removable bolsters. It is of generous size for three, but arranged as two cushions for superior comfort.
Arresting carved shell supports, above Baroque relief presenting itself in scroll form. Unusual tubbed ends offer a fine view of the superb figuring. Lower apron scrolls its way to the centre, meeting in a final scallop shell form. Raised upon a pair of broad lion paw feet to the fore, with matching, shaped stile rears.
This is an exquisite antique drawing room sofa, with beguiling upholstery atop a striking, finely crafted frame. Exceptionally good order a testament to the fine establishments it has inhabited. Solid joints and construction, delivered ready for the home.
