Lion Hand Carved Brown Leather Chesterfield Sofa Armchair Suite, 1880s, Set Of 4

Chairish

$40,331

Absolutely stunning, exceptionally rare, fully restored, Victorian circa 1880 Jacobean Revival, Chesterfield tufted, Whisky brown leather suite with hand carved Lion detailing This suite has been on a journey, it was purchased from an antiques dealer in Belgium who has been in the trade for what looks like a hundred years, heavens knows how long this suite had been with him but I was delighted to discover it. It is an exceptionally rare find, I never come across original sets of Jacobean Revival seating let alone, those that have heavily carved Lion detailing. This suite has been top to bottom restored to include the following, the original upholstery was removed, the frames were then washed back and traditionally French polished from top to bottom, the seating internals were checked and restored as required but mostly it was in very fine order, they have then all been upholstered by a fourth generation trained Victorian upholsterer, he used premium cattle hide Italian fully aniline leather, this was upholstered plain, it was then hand dyed six times, antiqued, sealed, waxed down and polished Sofa dimensions Height:- 91.5cm Width:- 127.5cm Depth:- 78cm Seat height:- 50.5cm Armchairs dimensions Height:- 91cm Width:- 75cm Depth:- 78.5cm Seat height:- 49cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
