    Would think 1940s or so. No real identifiable style or precedence to it. Nice that the caning is intact.

    It's a beautiful piece and surprisingly very heavy ... I Just cant get a feel for its style... There's something just "wrong" with it.. Its like a traditional sofa went all "Tommy Bahama" perhaps when it was reupholstered? Worth taking the muslin off the bottom to see if there's makers marks on the frame?

    Is that press-in caning? If so, probably not as old as I thought.

    definitely looks like pre-woven cane panels, which would be more recent... Problem I've noticed with cane is that it tends to dry out and become brittle oven time, thus easily torn/damaged. My sis has a set of dining chairs with pre-woven backs that have become brittle and cannot find anyone willing to do the repairs around here. There are repair kits available online but it looks like quite the chore...
