About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this stunning sofa and armchair suite of very rare oversized Victorian barrel back armchair and sofa in fully restored hand dyed brown leather These are a good early pair, circa 1860, they have the period fluted backs, coil-sprung base with hessian cover, horsehair and hessian padding, the wings are absolutely massive, both pieces are very substantial, they weigh maybe three times as much as a modern reproduction piece. The feet are hand carved in the early Georgian manor but as mentioned I believe these to be later Victorian pieces Both pieces have been fully restored to include being hand dyed this deep cigar brown color, the hessian base covers have been replaced, some repairs to the cushion linings and base covers and so on, they are a good old pair in ready to go condition The only point to note is the back of the sofa has been repaired, there was a large straight line tear in the leather which has been padded and sealed internally, we could have / still can replace the whole back panel of leather however as its the original hide we have left it as it is Sofa dimensions: Height 107cm Width 159cm Depth 83cm Armchair dimensions: Height 107cm Width 88.5cm Depth 93cm 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.
