Help to find out what period is this sofa

I am redoing the springs. Cloth material is in decent shape. Filling is mostly straw. Would like to know the period of this chair and maker if possible

 

Can we get a picture of the entire chair? Front & back, maybe under neath too

 

Have included photos with the filling which is straw covered in burlap. The backrest is the same material. Did not remove it but you can feel the straw filling

 

Oh - so it's like a Loveseat or Settee. My parents have one I think from early to semi-late 1800's.
I would have it cleaned up and reupholstered.
Would make a really nice piece.

 

Tks. I will reuse the original material as it is in good condition. Lots of work to redo the sagging seat.

 

This is an odd one. I do think Victorian and probably 3rd quarter of the 19th century. Any provenance? I am thinking maybe English.

 

Tks. for your reply. Yes, for what I've seen it could be Victorian probably late 1800s although I am not an expert. No history. Purchased at a roadside "junk" store.
Most likely European as the place where I am, furniture, ceiling and wall lamps etc were brought from England, France and Italy in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Once the springs are properly tied up I will reuse the burlap and straw that came with it ( minor reinforcement needed). A lot of work but will remain as original as possible. The seat fabric has two minor defects but still in good condition.

 

Similar to a Louise XVl style sofa maybe second empire

Its similar. I know second empire also has a lot of those column like things on the side as decoration on dressers ect. But the feet are off, also the arms extend similarly but yours go straight down... The pic above probably made before invention of spring though.

 

Very nice. interesting similarities. Seen very few Victorians with similar columns. Wish they had placed markings somewhere in the frame.

 

Very nice piece Manu but I would highly recommend that you use new padding. Straw, horsehair etc. are mould and vermin attractors and do not stand up as well as the new stuff. If the seat cloth is good it could be reused. Be careful stretching old fabric. Just my thoughts.

 

Finally managed to finish the project. I'm not a profesional but the sofa is now firm and confortable and I'm pleased with the overall task. Estimate about 30 hours of work. Lots of staples/nails to remove. The fabric held very well when stretched. Tying the springs took a lot of time. Now is usable and should last a few more years. Tks for all comments/advice.

 

Wow, Manu! Congrats on a lovely job!

 

Another WOW!!
