Ridding and Wynn are proud to present a;
 
Victorian button back pink upholstered chesterfield sofa circa 1890
 
The remarkable carcass upholstered in baby / bubble gum pink button-back velvet / velour and sitting on ring turned oak front legs and sabre legs to the rear, the whole on period brass castors. A stunning survivor from late Victorian period England.
 
The powder pink upholstery is late twentieth century, and in very good shape with some minor wear as one might expect. Full professional clean underway. The sofa does not require any attention and is ready to use.
Chesterfield sofas share a complex history, alongside the elite, the privileged and aristocrats. History reveals that these types of couches have been commonly used in the confines of old institutions, government buildings and luxurious homes for generations. A room, in the 1900’s, would not be complete, unless the master owns a Chesterfield sofa.
 
Every once in a while, a piece comes along that is so unreservedly and without apology, kitsch; this is one of those.
