Earl and Rymer has dated this Hepplewhite Serpentine Sofa to the 19th Century.
The frame is supported by six finely carved legs.
The sofa is currently presented in a "country house" condition. The upholstery is usable but aged and would benefit from being replaced; the piece is sold as a candidate for reupholstery. Please note that the arm joints would benefit from tightening, a standard procedure best carried out by a restorer during the stripping-down phase of the upholstery process.
