Some years back I inherited this settee - as you can see, it is in dire need of renovation - the bottom is about to fall out and the covers are starting to tear (helped along by the dog's claws I think!). My grandmother re-covered it many years ago, but at the back you can still see the plush (but now faded) material that I assume was the original covering. I was thinking it was maybe 1920s - is that about right, or earlier?</p><p><br /></p><p>I will be downsizing next year and need to work out what to keep. In your opinions, would it be worthwhile getting this piece renovated or should I offer to someone else to take it on? I don't care about making money from it, but I would like to think it was going to be brought back to life and loved again! I can't just dump it - it's been around all my life and I'm way too sentimental!</p><p><br /></p><p>All help greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>Jane.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]355041[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]355042[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]355044[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]355047[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
