[QUOTE="HappyYogi, post: 426634, member: 9015"]Good evening, everyone. I've just been given this drop-arm sofa, and was told that it's Victorian, but I can't find any other references online to the unusual double hump style back. Can anyone help to identify it? It was recovered professionally a few years ago, so all the material is modern. The lever appears to be iron and quite rustic, so I don't think this was a high-end piece originally. It's possible to drop the arm into three different positions. It's very heavy and the upholstery is well-padded and possibly sprung. The front feet are buns and the back just simple squares. I'm going to attempt to re-cover it myself (my first - I am slightly worried!), so I will be able to take more photos once I start removing the tacks.
