Help with my couch!
« on: March 02, 2010, 08:42:06 PM »

Can anyone tell me the age/era of this couch? Was reupholstered about 5 year ago. Anything you can tell me would be great!
Thanks!

I'd say your sofa dates from the first ten years of the 20th century--and i'll bet anything it was promoted as "Colonial" when it was new.  The little claw and ball feet would have been a very "Chippendale" motif, but the overall form is reflecting rather loose imitations of "Federal" designs of the early 1800s.

Thanks so much! That's great! So it may actually be 100 years old. I was afraid someone would say it was made 10 years ago in China.  Cheesy

Thanks for giving me your evaluation! Really appreciate it. Now I have somewhere to start and continue to search for more information.
