Object Description
Important early mahogany antique sofa. This sofa dates from the late 18th century Georgian period. This was an age of elegance with an emphasis on lightness of design, correct proportions and exquisite and delicate decorative detail. This sofa has good tall thin legs which are tapered and reeded with spade feet. The arm sweeps back and scrolls out and upwards towards the back which in turns is raised gradually toward the centre. All round this is a wonderful piece of furniture, elegant, solid, well made and a joy to behold.
