EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a stunning piece of furniture from the 19th century, known as the "Couch, c. 1850". The couch is made of rich walnut wood and adorned with velour upholstery in a vibrant shade of red. Its exquisite craftsmanship is evident in its four carved cabriole legs, which are intricately detailed with scrolls and castors. The serpentine seat features pierced and scrolling acanthus armrests at either end, adding to its elegance and comfort. The upholstery has been modernly cut in a scarlet velour fabric that beautifully complements the walnut frame's heavy semi-opaque varnish. Although this magnificent couch has stood the test of time, one leg has undergone repair on its scrolled toe. Nevertheless, it remains an exceptional example of Victorian-era furnishing. Displayed at The Geffrye Museum of the Home in London, UK, this double-sided seat measures 78x136x60 cm. Against a pristine white background in this studio shot by Bridgeman Images, every intricate detail comes to life. Whether admired for its historical significance or appreciated for its timeless beauty and design elements, this photograph allows us to appreciate the artistry behind this remarkable piece of furniture from centuries past.
