Anglo-Indian Loveseat or Settee

By hovfam, 21 February, 2010
Description

Extremely detailed, heavily carved, little settee or loveseat. Basically, I know nothing about it. There are no
distinguishable writings or tags on it that I can find.
It's incredibly beautiful. It's small, measuring only about
33 1/4 inches from the floor to the highest point. The
cloth portion of the seat at the front is about 3 feet wide.
The arms measure about 22 inches from where they meet the
back. The back is 18 inches at the largest part & it's
about 38 inches wide. It has small wheels on the legs but
I'm not sure if they were original. It also has a cushion,
under the white fabric that looks like horse hair to me.
It's maybe about 5-6 inches think.

I would love to know ANYTHING about it, era, style, origin, what it
would have been upholstered in, and value (or an idea of value).

I may be willing to sell it.

Here are many pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/tweets.hov/Loveseat?authkey=Gv1sRgCN6_-_S2w…
