ANTIQUE #SA1179382

Exceptional Antique Carved Mahogany Bergčre Suite – Settee & Two Armchairs – C.1900 (damaged Cane)

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Lee Hawkins Antiques & Interiors

A seriously impressive antique mahogany bergčre suite, consisting of a large sofa and two deep armchairs. Crafted from beautifully toned mahogany that has that warm walnut-style colour we all love, this suite is loaded with character and high-quality carving.
 
Each arm terminates in a finely carved bird/eagle head, a rare decorative feature that instantly makes the suite stand out.
 
The cushions retain their original green damask velvet upholstery, giving it that proper vintage gentleman’s-club aesthetic. Heavy, solid, and beautifully built — this is real craftsmanship, not modern throwaway furniture.
