Silk barrel sofa and chair with hummingbird carving

By babz43, 17 March, 2010
Description

I purchased the attached sofa and chair with intricate carvings and fabric in excellent condition. The owner states that they belonged to her aunt who passed it to her mother where she got it. She states the fabric is silk and the seat cushions are horse hair and down. The tag confirms down.
