Condition
The sofa is sturdy and functional. The surface appears to have been vigorously cleaned and polished in the past, with some minor attendant restoration work such as gluing a few pieces of carving back on. There are scattered, normal shrinkage lines and indications of age and use. There is one old area of what looks like burn-in shellac at a veneer loss on the back scrollwork, about 1/4" wide and 1-1/4" high. The upholstery retains good shape and firmness. It exhibits some moderate wear along the front edge of the seat cushion. No rips, tears or holes were observed.
