Antique Swedish Satin Birch Bergere Sofa

About the Item

This antique Swedish Bergere three-seat sofa is satin birch and has just been completely re-upholstered in a neutral coloured fabric with new feather cushions. Consequently, it’s very comfortable, because the cushions are generously filled. The frame is beautifully carved on the top of the backs behind the cushions. There’s also good carving on the swept over arms, plus below the arms all the way down to the ball and claw feet. There’s more carvings around the bottom of the frame too. This sofa is very Fine quality, in good condition and structurally sound. There is one small repair to the cane on one of the back panels, showing in the images. It’s a small piece of patching and was like this when we got it. It’s not that noticeable, being on the lower back and certainly doesn’t affect the overall tightness of that particular cane panel, plus there is another cane panel inside of that. This panel could be re-caned, but it’s really not worth doing, because of the cost and time to do it. All the panels are double cane, which is always a sign of better quality. I would date this sofa to circa the 1920-1930s period. If you feel the upholstery is too light for you and I understand that not everyone wants it that light, we can arrange recovering for about £300-£400 plus fabric. It’s still a very reasonable price for an antique sofa of this quality. Measures: Width 77 inches, 196 cm Depth 31 inches, 79 cm Height 36 inches, 92 cm Seat height 18 inches, 46 cm.
