<p>[QUOTE="Fern77, post: 4373288, member: 16131"]The settee itself is probably from the 1920s to 50s, and the pink velvet could very well be from the 80s (Alana Myles advocated differently by the end of the decade), but the pseudo fabric covering the underside is much newer than that. Hessian was used originally, and judging by the kind of work they did to the upholstery (horrible color notwithstanding), when they redone it they would have used something better. Glueblock was added to strengthen the frame, and there is nothing wrong there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
