SOLD Antique Carved Burl Walnut Civil War Era Sofa
$875.00
This is a beautiful sofa or loveseat of solid black walnut and burl walnut applied carvings and burl walnut trim panels, dating from the 1860s era. From the Civil War era, this sofa is what they call "transitional," which is when the style changed from empire from the 1840s to '60s, into what became known as the Renaissance or Victorian era. This sofa has been recently reupholstered in a beautiful raised brocade fabric that is stunning against the original black walnut with burl walnut trim frame. The hand-carved crest on top is all intact, with only a small crack on the back rail of the sofa, but it is overall tight and sturdy, and has been checked out by the boys in our cabinet shop. The overall size is 77 inches wide on the outside of the arms, 60 inches wide on the inside of the arms, 24 inches from front to back, 40 inches high to the top of the sofa, and 18 inches high to the seat. It's a great-looking sofa in wonderful condition.
