📌Victorian Walnut Settee - Circa 1860s

💠 Period: Victorian 📍 Origin: United Kingdom or Ireland 📏 Length: 217 cm 🪵 Wood: Solid walnut, hand-carved 🛞 Features: Original wooden castors, deep buttoned back, shaped frame ⚖️ Weight: Substantially heavy – typical of quality Victorian construction 📐 Upholstery: Vintage scallop-patterned fabric in soft teal-blue tones This elegant Victorian settee is a fine example of mid-19th century craftsmanship, showcasing a beautifully sculpted walnut frame with richly carved detailing and a graceful camelback silhouette. The refined hand carving, especially along the crest rail and arm scrolls, suggests work dating to around the 1860s–1870s. It stands proudly on cabriole legs and retains its original wooden castors, which are both a charming and practical period feature. These types of castors were commonly used during the mid-Victorian era before metal and ceramic wheels became widespread. The upholstery appears to be a mid-20th-century update with a scallop or fan motif, possibly a nod to Art Deco influence, yet it harmonizes beautifully with the antique frame. The seat is generously deep, and the back is fully buttoned, giving it that luxurious, welcoming feel. 🧰 Condition Notes: Structurally sound and very sturdy Minor marks and scuffs on the wood consistent with age Carving well preserved, with lovely patina Upholstery in good usable condition, with gentle signs of wear and age 🏡 Perfect For: A period sitting room, library, or hallway Boutique hotel or curated interior Film/theatre props or luxury photo sets 📍 Location: Available for viewing and collection in County Kerry. 🚚 Delivery options available upon request.
