Long Description
I have been trying to research this sofa and several people in New Orleans told me it was made by Anthony Quervelle. The upholstery has been redone (not correctly) and I have not found a label or mark on the frame but the entire shape is amazingly similar to a maker's label I have seen of Quervelle's and the incredably carved dolphin sides and feet are almost identical to the legs I've seen on two Quervelle tables. Some of the veneer has obtained damage from water during Katrina. Can anyone point me in the direction of someone who can verify whether or not this is in fact a Quervelle piece and the possible value?Quervelle LabelQuervelle Tables
