Early 19th Century Antique Swedish Rococo Gray Painted Sofa Bench

About the Item

This beautiful rococo sofa is a special find, reflecting graceful country living in Sweden during the early 1800's. Note the soft, dove gray paint gently distressed over generations of use. The delicate carving and cabriolet feet add a romantic touch to this deep seated bench or sofa (29" from seat front to back, 18" from seat front to current cushion back). The back is made of fabric attached to the wood frame, allowing the buyer to easily update the look by changing out the upholstery if desired. The six large cushions are removeable as well. Any nicks, scratches, stains and distress are age related and do not detract from the function nor appeal of this sofa which has been restored and is strong, stable and ready to be used. Please refer to photos to appreciate the gray painted finish and condition. Seat Height: 18" ** In light of current affairs and fluctuating fuel prices shipping quotes and timelines are estimates only.
