About the Item
Absolutely stunning, this early 19th-century sofa hails from the Empire period, showcasing impeccable craftsmanship and timeless design. Built to withstand the test of time, this Danish masterpiece, dating back to the 1850s, exudes an air of geometric elegance. Its commanding presence is accentuated by strong horizontal lines, lifted gracefully above the ground, complemented by cubistic cabinets adorning each side, imbuing it with unparalleled strength and sophistication.
In superb vintage condition, this sofa boasts functional locks, complete with a key, allowing the doors to elegantly 'pop' open, revealing convenient storage compartments on either side. Designed to command attention, this piece demands ample space, effortlessly becoming the focal point of any room. Its versatility extends to various interior design styles, seamlessly complementing everything from Art Deco to Bauhaus and even more contemporary pieces like Mid-Century Modern.
The fabric, though older, remains in near-perfect condition, devoid of any holes or tears. The seat and back springs retain their original tightness, ensuring enduring comfort and support.
Measuring at 150cm (59 inches) in seating cushion length, with a cabinet height of 78cm (30.7 inches) to the top, and a width of 36.5cm (14.4 inches), this sofa stands at a comfortable seating height of 46cm (18.1 inches), with a clearance underneath of 19cm (7.5 inches). The exquisite wood grain, showcasing all-solid wood construction, further underscores its exceptional craftsmanship. While a few minor marks near the bottom, where it gently meets the floor, serve as a testament to its rich history and enduring beauty. Please refer to the accompanying images for a closer look.
The species of the wood is hard to tell, either mahogany or oak.
