Classical Settee Love seat

This Item for sale
I couldn't walk by this settee at an estate sale here in southern New Hampshire.
I have restored this piece and its ready for your seasoned upholsterer to tailor up the fabric of your choice (six yards).
 This classical Settee ( love seat size) has some great carvings, with the eagles and partially hairy lion claws, with a mix of empire.  The accented swirled arms are nice.  The frame is solid , the spring base restored.  The exposed wood freshened up.  All old tacks removed.
arm height 31" crest height 37", 25 " deep, setting height 18", 66 inches in length. 
 The back attachments have been cleaned up properly.
If you move your mouse over the pics you can see close up.
All old webbing & nails removed.
 Traditional webbings for sure.
 Tied up tight like a drum.

 All the original stuffings retained of course.
With fresh cotton.
 All lined, ready for a thin coat of natural cotton & the fabric of your choice.
All the old covering saved for your upholsterer.
A real solid frame.




This piece is 70 miles from downtown Boston.
Priced at $495
