The couch has been newly upholstered in top quality structured satin brocade upholstery, which features a “fleur-de-lis” pattern in cream and pale gold colours, with matching fine quality cream braiding to the frame. The couch is constructed of mahogany and features a lovely shaped frame with a chiseled crest / top rail, padded back, secured by out swept padded arms, which incorporate fine scroll carvings. There is a stunning floral carved fretwork pierced centre, incorporating a French rocaille (shell motif), which travels the length of the backrest. The couch benefits from a sprung serpentine shaped seat the seat is firm but comfortable you do not sink into the seat. The seat features a simple scribe moulded frieze and the underside is finished with traditional hessian backing. The couch is raised on fine curvilinear front legs, with plain out swept legs to the rear. The legs terminate on the original brass castors.
This couch features a rich dark, brown mahogany colour to the frame. As it boasts the original polish it has a fantastic colour and patination this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received. It is impossible to re-create this colour if it has been re-polished.

Provenance – Rococo:
Rococo was an 18th-century artistic movement and style, which affected several aspects of the arts including painting, sculpture, architecture, interior design, decoration, literature, music and theatre. It takes its name from the French rocaille (pronounced ‘rock-eye’), which means the rock or broken shell motifs that often formed part of the designs. The Rococo developed in the early part of the 18th century in Paris, France as a reaction against the grandeur symmetry and strict regulations of the Baroque, especially that of the Palace of Versailles. The Rococo style was used primarily in antique furniture, silver and ceramics, rather than architecture.
Condition Report:
This couch is in good condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the mahogany frame but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The couch has been newly upholstered in top quality structured satin brocade upholstery, which features a “fleur-de-lis” pattern in cream and pale gold colours, with matching fine quality cream braiding to the frame. Therefore the upholstery is new and in excellent condition (it’s clean with no signs of wear and tear or damage). The seat is firmly sprung, but at the same time, is extremely comfortable. The underside is upholstered in traditional hessian. As the couch boasts the original polish it has a fantastic colour and patination. This colour can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received. The back and arms are also in good condition with no loose joints, and no missing carvings. This couch is well constructed, solid in joint and is ready to use.

We will also provide you with our shippers' contact details, in case you need to contact the driver on the day of delivery. It's helpful if you can provide us with both the landline and mobile telephone number, in case the driver cannot reach you on one of the numbers on the day of delivery, they can contact you on your alternative number.
In order to be able to offer you free delivery, it is based on a 1-man delivery only. For any large items that require 2 people to lift the item, we ask that you are available at the time of delivery to be able to give our shipper a lift off the van and into your house with the item.
