An Outstanding Large Scale Parlor Set
It takes a long time to find some of this
large scale furniture. Of course, it is also a quality set with its
applied ormolu decoration around the frame of the sofa and the chairs that
makes it so rare. The pretty flowered chintz fabric of birds and flowers
is wonderful as is the beige background that has a soft cream flowered
design. We can see some slight staining on the sofa, but overall, it is
truly a magnificent set. The set has never been repaired or touched since
I bought it many years ago. There are no breaks or reglued pieces on the
sofa, it is solid and gorgeous. It has its original blue glued paper on
the back. The chairs are upholstered in the same fabric without any
discoloration. The ormolu decoration on the chairs appears on the front of
the chairs; at the base of the seat and on the center bar and top. The
chairs are perfect except for one reglued side piece on one chair!
Measurements: The sofa is 6"h. at the peak
of the crest x 11" long.
The chairs are
5-7/8" tall.
