About this product
This antique Victorian sofa from circa 1870 features a walnut frame with gold finish and red satin upholstery. It measures 80 inches long, 36 inches wide, and 42 inches high, with scroll arms and a high back. Original from America, it is priced at $10,000.00, reflecting its ornate Louis XVI-inspired design and premium materials.
Our take
This sofa is absolutely stunning. The gold frame and red satin fabric scream luxury, and the scroll arms add elegance. At 80 inches long, it's generously sized, but the 36-inch width is typical for a settee. The high back provides good support, and the walnut construction feels substantial. However, the price of $10,000 makes it a significant investment. The satin upholstery is delicate and may not hold up well to daily use, so this is more of a statement piece for a formal living room. If you have the budget and space, it's a beautiful example of Victorian craftsmanship.
