Description from the seller
Antique Button-tufted Living Room Sofa – 19th Century – Louis-Philippe Style
Very attractive antique living room sofa from the 19th century, crafted in Louis-Philippe / Rococo Revival style. Likely not definitively from France; perhaps Belgium.
The sofa is characterized by an elegant, flowing backrest, richly button-tufted upholstery, and a refined carved solid wood frame.
The wooden base features graceful cabriole legs and hand-carved details on the back and arms. The sofa has been reupholstered with a deep red velour/plush fabric, giving the piece a luxurious and theatrical look. The upholstery is in good condition and neatly finished.
This type of sofa was originally used in salons and reception rooms of affluent homes and was intended as a representative piece of furniture.
