MEASUREMENTS: 75" LENGTH X 38" HEIGHT X 30" DEPTH
*****
CONDITION: GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME EVIDENCE OF WEAR
VELVET IS IN GOOD OVERALL SHAPE WITH ONLY 2 SMALL STAINS, ONE ON THE FRONT SEAT AS SHOWN IN PHOTOS, THE OTHER IS ALMOST TOO FAINT TO SHOW ON PHOTOS BUT IS LOCATED ON THE SIDE
SOME NICKS TO VENEER/WOOD AS EXPECTED WITH AN OLDER SOFA; A SMALL PIECE OF VENEER MISSING AND A CRACK IN VENEER IN CURVED UPPER ARM AS SHOWN IN PHOTOS.
STRENGTH OF SOFA - GOOD, NOT PERFECT. CAN BE USED BUT OBVIOUSLY WONT BE AS STURDY AS A NEW SOFA. THE ARMS BOTH HAVE A VERY SMALL GAP BETWEEN THE BASE AND BEGINNING OF THE ARM AS SHOWN BUT WE COULD NOT FIX THIS. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT THE STRENGTH OF THE SOFA.
VELVET UPHOLSTERY & TRIM WAS DONE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO ALONG WITH ADDITIONAL SEAT PADDING FOR COMFORT - AGAIN, MORE COMFORTABLE THAN MOST SOFAS OF THIS AGE BUT NOT AS COMFORTABLE AS A NEW SOFA.
SOME FRAYING AROUND THE BUTTONS BUT NOT NOTICEABLE.
SCOTCHGARD WAS USED ON THE VELVET TO PROTECT IT AND OVERALL, IT HAS WORKED VERY WELL. ANY UNEVENNESS IN COLOR OF VELVET IS LARGELY DUE TO US USING A HEPA FILTER VACUUM UPHOLSTERY CLEANER ON THIS SOFA SO THE PILE OF THE VELVET IS NOT ALL LAYING IN THE SAME DIRECTION. THE SOFA HAS AN IMPRESSIVE CARVED PIECE AT THE CENTER OF THE BACKPIECE AND IT RETAINS IT'S ORIGINAL CASTERS MAKING IT VERY EASY TO MOVE. IT COMES FROM A SMOKE-FREE HOME AND HAS NO ODORS TO IT.
WE ARE DOWNSIZING OUR ANTIQUES DUE TO HAVING JUST TOO MUCH STUFF! THIS SOFA COULD BE USED FOR DECORATION OR AS A STARTER SOFA.
