Antique Mahogany Settee

Impressive 19th century mahogany settee, in the manner of Thomas Chippendale. A most handsome piece with finely executed carving work. The moulded head rail over a double chair back with pierced splats and acanthus leaf decoration. Beautifully formed scrolling arms over a drop in seat and blind fretwork frieze. Raised on acanthus leaf carved legs to the front and splay legs to the rear.

Circa. 1830

The seat retains its original (and beautifully worn!) tapestry seat. If new fabric is preferred, our suggestion is William Morris 'acanthus', which complements the carving work of the settee nicely (please see photos). Or of course you may wish to choose another fabric. The price includes re-upholstery in the William Morris fabric. Please get in touch with any questions!
