Know before you buy
The restoration process involved updating all internal components, including the foam, filling, and springs. While the frame remains original to preserve its historical character, the structural integrity and comfort have been modernized to meet contemporary standards.
To maintain the fabric, we recommend regular light vacuuming with an upholstery attachment to remove dust. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth; professional upholstery cleaning is advised for deep stains to protect the integrity of the delicate linen and velvet fibers.
Yes, the sofa has been reinforced with new springs and high-quality foam to prevent sagging and improve support. It is designed to function as a comfortable, durable piece of furniture for everyday living, rather than just a decorative display item.
As an 80-year-old antique, the wooden frame may show subtle signs of its history, such as light surface wear or small imperfections in the finish. These marks are consistent with its age and contribute to the authentic, one-of-a-kind character of the piece.
The sofa measures 88 inches wide, 33.5 inches high, and 36 inches deep. We recommend measuring your entryways, hallways, and the intended room space to ensure it can be maneuvered comfortably into your home.
