SOLD

A magnificent solid black walnut, hand-carved loveseat, this piece dates from the Civil War era and is in excellent condition

 This is a gorgeous solid black walnut hand-carved grape and leaf berry cluster loveseat that dates from the 1860s-’70s era. A sweet-looking sofa, with a frame of all solid black walnut, it has its original patina in a nice amber-walnut color that shows off the gorgeous hand-carved cluster on top of leaves, berries, nuts and fruits, all intact. The front of the sofa is all carved, too, with a serpentine skirt, dainty little cabriole legs and carved forearms. The upholstery is a dark brown velour with buttons and tucks in the back. We’re not sure if it’s original or not, but it certainly shows some age. It does have a few little water spots that may or may not come out with upholstery cleaning. There are no rips or tears. It measures 67 inches wide on the outside, 51 inches wide on the inside. Front to back is 30 inches deep, 41 inches high to top of crest, 23 inches high to the top of the arm, 17 inches high to the seat. Other than the small spots on the upholstery, this sofa is in wonderful condition, and the frame is all nice and tight. It will cost only $325 to have this loveseat shipped to your home, within the normal delivery area.
