Aesthetic Movement Chesterfield Country House Sofa.
Circa 1870, English.
Oversized legs which are ebonised. The front legs are tapered and fluted, while the back are splayed and chamfered. There is a carved apron frieze having rosettes and also is ebonised.
Solid hardwood construction throughout and sturdy.
The upholstery you see is without a top cover and is all traditional with tied springs and horsehair fillings with visible hand stitching to the calico lining.
Dimensions: Length 212cm x depth 86cm x height 72cm. Seat width 155cm, seat depth 55cm, seat height 42cm.
Some losses to the small rosettes.
This requires some extra work to the seat, as a couple of ties have broken holding the springs in place. A traditional repair is needed and we can refer you in the right direction.
