Classic SETTEE
A classic Victorian Mahogany two-seater with some Regency period influences including squat, trumpeted turned legs (formerly with casters), and “S” curved arms. Beautifully hand-carved tassels adorn the burled veneer back structure. The deep redness of the Mahogany heartwood, distress, and hand-carved dowel original construction indicate some age, most likely a late 19th Century origin. Burled veneers on exposed rails and structure, as on this piece, were also popular in many Eastlake pieces from the same period.
We first rejoined and reinforced all interior frame components for added longevity. Exposed wood was carefully restored and refinished with 8 layers of hand-rubbed varnish. Then, to complete our restoration, we chose soft gray Top Grain Leather upholstery and subtle matte black dome nails that accentuate and coordinate with the dark cherry coloring of the wood. The handsomely button-tufted seat back complements the supportive comfort of an 8-way hand-tied steel coil spring bed, topped with modern, high-density seating foam. Three Gold Leafed medallions add a touch of flair to make this seat as eye-catching and unique as it is comfortable.
This settee will enhance virtually any room in the house to include a bed or dressing room, and provide hours of comfortable leisure. Settee measures 60”w x 31”d x 36”h, with a comfortable 18” seat height, and weighs approximately 50 lbs.
