Louis XVI Revival Rosewood Sofa

F1489. Very Fine Early 19th Century Louis XVI Revival Open Arm Sofa, in Rosewood,
a deeply finger carved frame, a tall rectangular padded back with rounded corners,
by a crest rail centered by delicately carved roses. The sabre shaped arms are each
finger carved so deeply they are beaded as are the three open back stiles. Each
arm has an upholstered arm pad. The deep, upholstered seat has a serpentine shaped
seat and frieze with four cabriole legs, each with a shell capital, positioned at
each inwardly curve of the seat. Each leg is on wooden castors. The new upholstery
on the back, arm pads, and seat is green and burgandy stripe, with a narrow white
stripe. These deep colors enhance the gorgeous Rosewood. This piece bears an old
finish.
