Description

We have a 19020's era Antique Sofa that my Grandparents owned. It has been in the family since new and passed from generation to generation. We are moving and would like to sell this beautiful . . . and comfortable sofa! There are no rips in the upholstory and the woodwork is in very, very good condition.

We believe that the sofa is made out of maple or cherry hardwoods.

Condition

Excellent

Date Period

1920's

History

Purchased when my Grandparents were living in Chicago and before moving back up to Wisconsin. It probably was in their formal parlor and used for when they were entertaining. They were living in a very affluent neighborhood at the time. It is a sofa that many people are afraid to sit on because it is so beautiful. Once you sit on it many people can't believe how comfortable it is. I have more pictures but they are too big for this site. I can email them to you if necessary.

Price

We will have a better idea after reviewing the appraisals

For Sale?

Re: 1920's Era Antique Sofa with hand carved woodwork

We would like to sell this beautiful piece of furniture. Due to our downsizing we will not have the space to keep this it. Our loss is someone's gain! Thanks in advance for looking at our request.

Did you receive your formal appraisal & sofa maker, style, yr, etc info? I have a Duncan Phyfe Federal in poor condition that I was going to have refurbished but yours has more detail & character. Would consider purchasing from you if in my Phyfe Refurbish budget range.

Re: 1920's Era Antique Sofa with hand carved woodwork

This is a Louis XV style sofa, the Louis XV style has been revived many times since its original inception during the 1700's. Values for such pieces like this depend a great deal on condition, but at auction comparable sofa's often sell for less than $300.00.
