Found right here in New England, this beautiful sofa is still in great original condition after 150 years, and features flame mahogany and what we believe is the original crushed velour upholstery, all in nice shape.   This is a wonderful pre-Civil War flame mahogany period empire loveseat or sofa that dates from the 1850s or ‘60s. I’ve never gotten over the amazement at how many of this style of sofa we’ve had the good luck to find up here in New England, still in good original condition, like this one we’re selling today. It has flame mahogany with ribbon molding across the base, and some of the ribbon is missing, but we may have some in the shop that we can use to fix this, if you ask us at point of sale. It has carved scrolled arms in flame mahogany, a beautiful flame mahogany crested back with hand-carved roses right in the center, with a shield crest, and applied carvings on the outside, all hand-carved. It has what I believe is the original crushed velour fabric upholstery, which is an antique greenish with a yellow tint. It’s in really nice shape, although people usually disassemble the upholstery and replace it with new fabric with buttons and such, and these babies usually turn out really beautifully when that’s done. The condition of this one is really, really nice except for the small piece of molding that’s missing. The overall size is 82 inches wide on the outside of the arm, 60 inches wide on the inside of the arm, 28 inches deep from front to back, 36 inches high to the top of the carved rose crest, and 18 inches high to the seat. It’s a fantastic sofa, and we’re so pleased to be able to offer it to you. It will cost $385 to have this period sofa shipped to your home, within our normal delivery area.
