ANTIQUE SOFAS

18TH century recamier in the Italian "Grotesque" style.  The back of this truly incredible piece of furniture features cornucopias, rams heads and ponies.  The front corner is a figure standing on a mythical animal with a snake body and goat- like face. The front and side aprons are completely carved and end in claw feet.   The back right corner is a partial figure.  Equally amazing is the fact that this piece retains its original finish!  There are no losses to the carving.  The only restoration we can see is a re-gluing of the back panel on a seam.  The wood is walnut and it has been beautifully re-upholstered in blue damask.  61" long x 24" deep x 33" tall.  Price $5,600.
