Dating from the Civil War era, this sofa is in incredible condition, with its magnificent hand-cut designs and flame mahogany frame, as well as many lovely details…Read More

This is a wonderful flame mahogany empire carved sofa that dates from the Civil War era in nice original condition dating from the 1850’s to 1860’s. It has been reupholstered, most likely years ago, in a red fabric that shows some soil but no tears or other damage but you will most likely want to reupholster it. The frame is all flame mahogany, which is gorgeous, and it amazes me that we still find these gorgeous old sofas right here in New England, which of course is where they all came from originally. It has a hand-carved mahogany crest in the center of a swooping design, carved forearms with leaves carved around the center of the curved arms, wonderful carved details on the feet, and a beautiful flame mahogany veneer section on the front that has a couple of veneer spots that we will correct before shipping. The overall size is 82 inches wide on the outside of the arms, and 64 inches on the inside of the arms. It is 25 inches deep from front to back, 34 inches to the top of the carved crest and 19 inches to the top of the seat. This is a great-looking period Civil War era empire sofa, and don’t forget that we will fix the two little bad spots on the veneer so you won’t even be able to tell it was there. It will cost only $385 to have this piece shipped to your home, within our normal delivery area.

This sofa is an amazing example of Federal style furniture making, with beautiful carving and in incredible condition after 170 years…Read More

This will take your breath away: A beautiful solid mahogany Federal carved period sofa with awesome detail that dates from the 1840s-‘50s era. This sofa has a great look: someone reupholstered it years ago in an antique green crushed velour fabric, and because of the curved design arms, they even made the round pillows that set underneath the arms. It appears to have a re-varnished clear coat over the original old patina. This sofa is unbelievable. Firstly, it has really strong carved claw feet with fruits and nuts and berries carved off its wings. It also has floral blocks of carving against a plain skirt, then up around the curved arms there is a cornucopia of carved fruits and berries throughout the entire arm, which is very unusual. We‘ve never had a sofa with this exact carving. On the back, where there is usually a different style of wood, this one shows a lot more wood than normally. And it has, right across the top, a hint of the Duncan Phyfe style — but is truly Federal — on a carved crest rail of solid mahogany and hand carved, a basket with incredible detail. The condition of this piece, after 170 years, is incredible. It always amazes us how something can be in such wonderful condition after so long. It measures 75 inches wide from arm to arm, and inside the arms is 58 inches wide. Front to back, it measures 25 inches deep, 35 inches to the top of the carved crest rail, and it is 30 inches high to the arm. This is a stunning sofa, and we are very excited to be able to offer you this true piece of pre-Civil War era furniture making. This is a very nice investment piece. As you can see in the photos, someone has braced up the back legs with metal plates because they tend to be fragile, however, this sofa is all tight and sturdy. It will cost $425 to have this magnificent piece shipped to you, within our normal delivery area.

We are pleased to be offering this beautiful vintage antique green genuine leather button and pleated Chesterfield sofa to you today.…Read More

It dates within the last 10-25 years. It has tons and tons of buttons and pleats throughout, and they all appear to be there, though we have to be honest and say that we have not counted the buttons to make sure. This sofa is in wonderful condition with no rips or tears, and features cushion button pleated arms with the brass antique tacks that goes down through the face, and has buttons and pleats everywhere—across the skirts, across the top of the sofa, on the side of the sofa, on the inside of the arms, on the inside of the back, everywhere. It is also accented with brass antique tack trim on the front. There is a little bit of bagginess to the leather on one side, but I think that it looks more dramatic in the photos than in real life. Overall, the sofa is in very good condition, and the color is fantastic. This is a very comfortable three-cushion Chesterfield sofa, in the masculine green with black accent color. This sofa measures 76 inches long, 27 inches high from the floor to the back of the sofa, 32 inches deep, and 17 inches from the floor to the seat. The inside of the sofa seta measures about 54 inches long. We are pleased to be offering it to you today! It will cost $425.00 to have this shipped to your home. Please contact us to make sure that your location is located in the normal delivery area.

We are pleased to be offering this fantastic Rococo style sofa to you today. …Read More

Dating from the 1870s, this piece hails from a home in Beacon, MA where it has purportedly been sitting since it was originally purchased.

The sofa is constructed mostly of black walnut with some mahogany in the mix. It features the original finish, and has a fantastic patina! The upholstery was redone we are guessing sometime within the last 20-40 years, and is usable with some wear, staining here and there, and some fading as well, where it may have been exposed to light from a window, etc. Overall, though, it is entirely usable. The sofa features some fantastic Rococo style carvings on the floral carved crest, finger carved arm rests, floral carved cartouche on the skirt—it’s beautiful! Measuring 72 inches long, 32 inches deep, 37 inches tall to the back of the crest, and 18 inches to the seat, this is a beautiful antique sofa that dates from the late civil war era to the early Victorian era, and the frame remains in very nice condition. It will make a great addition to any Victorian inspired décor, and we are happy to offer it today.It will cost $425.00 to have this shipped to your home.
