I just picked up this sofa from the back of an antique mall. I don't know if this is a very old sofa or a repro, and the upholstery is obviously hideous and needs to be replaced, but I was trying to find out what to call it style wise. Other than victorian, I'm not sure what it is. Any help? It's about 8.5'.
