About the Item

This stunning French high-back sofa, designed in the opulent Napoleon III style, is the embodiment of luxury and elegance. Upholstered in a pale orange tangerine velvet, the back and arms of the sofa feature a diamond tufting pattern, emphasized by contrasting white buttons that harmonize beautifully with the white fringe trimming the bottom. The three loose cushions are filled with down and feathers, offering comfort and versatility. While the fabric maintains its cleanliness, it is not brand new, suggesting a need for a facelift to uphold its timeless charm and durability. We strongly encourage reupholstering vintage seating, and we are more than happy to offer our upholstery services upon request. The impressive dimensions of this piece stand at 39 inches high, 70 inches wide and 30 inches deep, with a seat height of 15 inches, making it an eye-catching centerpiece in any room. This beautiful sofa is just one of the many unique vintage pieces available at 145 Antiques. Our extensive collection includes a wide variety of vintage and one-of-a-kind tables, furniture, and decorative items. Each piece is carefully selected for its impeccable quality and timeless appeal. At 145 Antiques, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service and quality, making every purchase a valuable investment. Please note that this sofa has not been re-upholstered recently and the fabric is vintage. Vintage fabric may show signs of wear including stains and spots. Please ask any specific questions about the condition of the sofa including the fabric. We always recommend reupholstering vintage seating before using. All seating is sold as is. We will gladly send you more photos if you ask. Ref #: SFA0222-04 Dimensions: 39”H x 70”W x 37”D (15” Seat Height and 21” Arm Height)
