A gorgeous, unusual and hard-to-find pre-Civil War sofa in the Duncan Phyfe style, this piece truly does have it all, and won’t be around long…Read More
This is a beautiful pre-Civil War hand-carved Federal-type sofa with claw feet, in the Duncan Phyfe style dating from the 1850’s. It is very unusual, and we haven’t before had the pleasure of owning this particular model. It has an upholstered back, along with a wonderful flame mahogany raised panel center, a hand-carved oval crest in the center, carved rosettes, and carved arms that look like cornucopias, full of fruits and flowers. It comes out into a curved arm with what looks like eagle heads carved into the arms on both sides, into the rosettes, and scroll flowers coming down, then there is an oxbow-style curved skirt of all flame mahogany. There are also gorgeous detailed carved claw feet with pineapples and flowers and such. This sofa is just a great example of pre-Civil War cabinet craftsmanship. Of course, it has been reupholstered years ago in a light antique beige fabric, which is good and usable. The frame itself appears to be in its original dark reddish brown finish. The overall size is 72 inches wide on the outside of the arms, 58 inches wide on the inside of the arms, from front to back is 25 inches deep, 41.5 inches to the top of the crest, 33 inches high to the top of the arm, and the height to the seat is 22 inches high. A great-looking Federal style sofa, and you don’t want to mess around — this sofa will be gone before you finish thinking about it! It will cost only $425 to have this sofa shipped to you, within our normal delivery area.
