19th Century French Empire Ormolu Sphinx Egyptian Hardwood Suite Sofa Armchairs

About the Item

We are delighted to this very decorative collectable suite of mahogany with ornate Sphinx & Griffon ormolu mounted French Empire Egyptian revival salon seating A very good looking and decorative suite. These are period mid 19th century examples with all the original mounts, they are exceptionally well made and look expensive and important in any setting. We have cleaned waxed and polished the mahogany, the ormolu is nicely aged and has a rich patina, they really are wonderfully decorative pieces There is one old repair that I can see one to the back leg of the settee, there is also one small loss to the ormolu on the bottom of the back rest of one of the armchairs, otherwise it all looks to be present. I can have the missing piece replaced and the back leg repair stripped and rebuilt to make sure its 100% solid for the cost price, I have left them as they are as I like to give the new owner the option for what level of restoration they would like to go for Pair of armchairs dimensions Height 100.5cm Width 68cm Depth 66cm Seat height 46cm Sofa dimensions Height 106.5cm Width 146.5cm Depth 70.5cm Seat depth 46cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point. This item is available for collection from our Wimbledon warehouses Condition: Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
