A 19th century upholstered and mahogany Sofa raised on four turned tapering reeded front legs, 182cm wide CONDITION REPORT: The upholstery looks in fairly good order. The whole piece is very heavy. The mahogany frame exhibits scuffing, scratches and similar marks commensurate with age. The back legs appear in generally good order. The second leg in from the right appears to have had strengthening glue applied at some stage but is not particularly prevalent. There has been some possibly strengthening of the front right hand leg to the rail historically. Overall the piece is in a good usable condition. Most of the scuffs and scratches could probably be polished out with the minimum of effort. Condition generally commensurate with age.
