Victorian style sofa

Profile picture for user JasperAzazel
By JasperAzazel, 7 December, 2023
Description

Victorian style sofa I acquired from someone who has owned it since the 1950’s. Heavy hardwood and stiff textile. No identifying markings or tags that I can find. Each cushion weighs 9lbs. Cushion stuffing is thick and heavy, and seems to be an organic material. Each cushion has a zipper on the back. Only words I can find on the sofa is on the zipper pull that says “ROVAN”.
Bottom of sofa frame contains stiff metal springs.
Small scratches and nicks in wood from touching walls and other furniture while being moved over the years. Mostly unnoticeable after being polished. No visible stains, tears, or flaws in fabric.
