Carved Sofa

By tnwalls, 25 June, 2010
Description

We bought this set in the 80's. The set has a large sofa (Seats 3-4 easily) and the chair pictured below. We bought it through an antique dealer friend's private party where they had a crate of furniture shipped from Germany. The items where unrestored when purchased and were covered in dry-rotted velvet type material and stuffed with horse hair and cotton. When we had them recovered, they kept those materials inside and covered with new batting and silk fabric.

The carved Falcon/swan birds are one solid piece of wood. I think they are swans my sister thinks falcons.

Any input is appreciated!!!
