MAHOGANY CAMEL-BACK CHIPPENDALE SOFA. PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA. CIRCA 1780.

Estimate
US$10,000 - US$20,000
Price realised:
n. a.
Beschreibung:

A serpentine arched crest with outscrolled arms on downswept supports and an over-upholstered seat on square molded legs joined by stretchers. The frame is made of oak rails, poplar arm supports, cedar crest rail and yellow pine. The sofa represents a small group of Philadelphia sofas encompassing the nicely shaped and pitched arch to the back with generous sweep of the arms and the downward movement of the supports. CONDITION: The actual frame of the sofa is in untouched condition with very little damage. The previous owners removed the legs in order to utilize the sofa in a New York apartment.

The grain of the lower legs and the extension of the legs still attached to the frame is the same and continuous. PROVENANCE: Sotheby's, 19 May 2005, Sale NO8097, Lot 0203. Joe Kindig Antiques Item Dimensions: 40 - 1/2" x 95" x 33".
