1 of 2 Victorian Brown Leather Sofas Stamped Back Leg Coil Sprung Feather Filled

About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale 1 of 2 lovely restored Victorian club sofas with inside back leg stamped This auction is for the original Victorian model, the owners had a second sofa made to match it in or circa 1930s, this second sofa looks pretty much identical but there are slight differences which I’ll list below. The sofa is stamped on the inside back left leg 557 5 which will be an order number, the only company I know that stamped here was Howard & Son's but the castors aren't stamped This sofa is the all singing all dancing super comfortable original Victorian, it has the fully sprung front edge which is very rare, the front edge is the beam of wood that usually sits below the cushions where the end of your thigh rests before the knee, on this sofa its sprung so it compresses as you sit down, its rare and very very comfortable. The entire seat platform is of course coil sprung, each spring is hand dyed eight ways, hessian padded and supported. The cushions are deep dense feather filled and very heavy The sofa was fully restored a few years ago, they removed the old upholstery and reupholstered it with the heritage leather hide, it is fully aniline which means it shows the natural patina of the skin The sofas will only look like this for a few weeks, they are due for recolouring which means they will be hand dyed a lovely whisky brown colour Dimensions: Height:- 67cm Width:- 200cm Depth:- 91cm with the back to the wall to the front panel, 98cm to the front of the cushion 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.
