An Early Nineteenth Century Sofa. English, circa 1810.

The carved frame with original faux-rosewood and parcel-gilt decoration; retaining much of the original upholstery and calico. There are also small scraps of green & gold silk Jacquard suggesting the original top cover. An illegible chalk mark under the frame and a numbered reference to the seat back “111/8.”

A daybed from the same commission was sold at Christies in New York in April 2007.
