Oak Bobbin Framed 2 Seater Sofa 1900s

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Billy Hunt & Co.
Description

A super quality and fine looking English oak framed 2 seater sofa with highly attractive bobbin legs and stretchers. This one is going to work in so many spaces - hallway, sitting room or bedroom are a few that spring to mind - very placeable indeed!

The oak frame as mentioned, is of lovely quality, well finished, a pleasing shape and tone and the addition of the Edinburgh Weavers Seedpod cotton fabric to the deep comfortable seats, back and interior sides is contrasted with a duck egg blue short cut velvet to the sides and backs, means it is ready to enjoy.

Condition is very good with some pleasant aging to the sturdy oak frame, the seating and fabric is very good with very little wear.

Billy Hunt and Co is located on a large Victorian farm just a short country drive from the Rangemore village, a designated conservation area, which was built by Michael Thomas Bass in the 1850s to house the Bass Rangemore Estate workers consisting mainly of Victorian redbrick cottages and the occasional barn.

Our home is a classic Victorian designed and well equipped late 19th century 2 story red brick built barn of some 4000 sq feet nestled in classic English countryside, which enjoyed a careful full renovation in 2000. The estate still benefits being managed in the traditional manner with an Estate Manger, estate carpenter, gardeners etc. A rather delightful place to have as our work space.

Martina, there is no Billy at Billy hunt, has led the team since 2103 and is an interior designer qualified from The Inchbald School of Design London whose previous working life included such clients as Vertu, Aston Martin and Johnnie Walker to name a few.

Please do not hesitate to call or email if you have any questions on the pieces that may interest you - Many thanks Martina

FAQs

Bobbin turning, also known as spool turning, is a woodturning technique where timber is shaped into a series of rounded, ornamental beads along a central axis. Originated in seventeenth-century Europe, the style saw significant revival periods during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras within Arts and Crafts furniture design.

Settees from this period were constructed using solid oak components joined via traditional mortise and tenon joints. Frame stability was reinforced with H-stretchers or perimeter stretchers below the seat rail, while lathe-turned bobbin posts provided structural arm and leg supports.

Authentic period frames feature hand-turned or early machine-lathed timber showing slight irregular variations in bead size and spacing. Look for natural patination in lower-wear areas, original pegged joinery, and natural oxidisation within the grain of the oak.

A bobbin-turned sofa can serve as a focal point in a hallway, bay window, or sitting room. Pairing the dark wooden frame and patterned upholstery with neutral walls or contemporary textured textiles balances historic woodwork with modern interior elements.

Timber elements should be dusted regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and treated periodically with clear beeswax polish to preserve the finish. Upholstery requires light vacuuming with a soft brush attachment and professional spot cleaning to avoid moisture damage to the wooden frame.
