Today’s sofas don’t evoke too much by the way of romance, sensuality and curvy femininity as do Victorian era pieces. While I love a good, boxy modern piece, there is nothing today that compares to the sexiness and styling of the Victorian period. It was as if they created furniture, representative of a real woman’s figure, underneath all of her finery.
When I see this piece, I imagine an artist painting his lover outstretched by candlelight. I also think it would be a superb piece to reupholster in a super funky and bold patterned fabric (or many different fabrics) to give it an ultra Bohem flavor!

From the seller iFoundYou
“This is a very handsome Victorian Empire, double scroll end sofa. The wood is mahogany and it is upholstered in a yellow stripe with a laurel wreath motif. There are two round bolster cushions, one at each end. This type of sofa dates 1810 – 1830 and as was typical, features large hand carved paws for feet with carved wings.”
$950. What a bargain!
Being an interior designer for over 25 years, I’ve seen a lot of furnishings. Some I love… some not so much.
When you’ve been in the business as long as I have, you’ve pretty much seen it all. There is generally nothing that really grabs my attention and makes me say “WOW!”
…and then there came this little gem…
At first glance, it may seem a bit pricey. But, I can tell you that any chair that is well made, beautiful, functional and handcrafted in the U.S. is going to be thousands.
Think of this as purchasing artwork. It’s something to hand down in your family for generations to come.
