About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this absolutely stunning, exceptionally rare, fully restored, Victorian circa 1880 Jacobean Revival, Chesterfield tufted, Whisky brown leather suite with hand carved Lion detailing This suite has been on a journey, it was purchased from an antiques dealer in Belgium who has been in the trade for what looks like a hundred years, heavens knows how long this suite had been with him but I was delighted to discover it. It is an exceptionally rare find, I never come across original sets of Jacobean Revival seating let alone, those that have heavily carved Lion detailing. This suite has been top to bottom restored to include the following, the original upholstery was removed, the frames were then washed back and traditionally French polished from top to bottom, the seating internals were checked and restored as required but mostly it was in very fine order, they have then all been upholstered by a fourth generation trained Victorian upholsterer, he used premium cattle hide Italian fully aniline leather, this was upholstered plain, it was then hand dyed six times, antiqued, sealed, waxed down and polished Sofa dimensions Height:- 91.5cm Width:- 127.5cm Depth:- 78cm Seat height:- 50.5cm Armchairs dimensions Height:- 91cm Width:- 75cm Depth:- 78.5cm Seat height:- 49cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements, please ask. Any questions please feel free to ask before you bid. Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
