19th Century Spanish Sofa

A commanding and elegant early 19th century Spanish salon sofa.

Carved in birch and giltwood, the generously padded back is crested with striking volutes, leafage and a central clam shell.

Each end of the scrolling arms is decorated with a gilded double volute form.

The sofa is completed in silk and decorative trim.

Spanish, circa 1820.

The piece is from a large private collection, with the silk and gilt restored by its owner in the mid-1990s.

This is the only example we have seen reach the open market and Pointers Antiques is very proud to have this piece within our collection.
