Description:

This is a superb quality antique English Regency double scroll end mahogany leather sofa couch, which has been newly upholstered to a professional standard in full grain chestnut brown leather, circa 1830, in excellent condition.  At this time, England was importing the best quality mahogany from its colonies.  The frame and bolster reeded legs are constructed of mahogany. The frame is designed attractive up-swept scroll end arms, which are decorated with scroll shaped feathers mouldings to the arms.  The leather sofa couch benefits from a well-carved central acanthus leaf pediment, flanked by a shaped rail to each corner of the couch, above a deep buttoned backrest, with the arms also being deep buttoned.

Additionally, moulded cartouches can be seen at the top of the reeded legs. The Regency couch stands on elegant ring turned reeded legs to the front, terminating on fine quality English-made replacement solid brass cup castors on all four legs.  The couch seats 3 – 4 persons.  The antique Regency couch has been newly upholstered in top quality full grain brown leather.  The leather frame is studded in traditional metal studs, in keeping with the original design. The leather sofa features a newly webbed base, the original detachable horse hair fillings in the swab cushion and two bolster cushions at each end. The mahogany frame has also been cleaned and French polished, by hand, to a professional standard, therefore the colour and patination is of an excellent standard.
