Kevin, have not seen one like this before.  If Batman had Rococo furniture this is what he'd have.  It almost looks like it was design-tested in a wind tunnel.  Carvings are exceptionally crisp in the back.

It's strange though.  The wood looks like Rosewood grain in picture 3689, but walnut in 3695.

Seems like i have a nack with all my settee's being a little different and rare. I actually bought this settee from the same estate as my two others. The bold curves are really dramtic. I would describe as the wind in "Gone with the Wind" insted of a wind test. Ha Ha  Seems John Bohm may have two matching wheels for my other settee.

Thank you for your time i will keep posting "rare Victorian"

My best Kevin  Hope we get some more comments


Qusetion:

Do the crisp carving lead you to believe they are done by a machine?

Hello

Is this settee a reproduction? If so when did they star reproducing Settee's ?

Help
