Victorian Velvet Sofa 2 Seater Provenance - Country House Estate, Wiltshire

19th century
For Sale by Siez Gallery
Description

Traditional compact two-seater settee. Upholstered in a rich sage green velvet, the piece pairs a deeply buttoned, diamond-tufted backrest with gracefully sloping shelter arms for a structured yet inviting silhouette.

Intricate woven gold braid trim traces the sweeping lines of the frame, adding a refined decorative contrast. Supported by square-tapered dark wood legs and finished with classic brass cup castors, this compact sofa offers both charm and practical mobility. Ideal for a formal drawing room, hallway, or cosy reading nook.

Some discrepancy’s on the covering.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Victorian button back sofas, popularised during the mid-to-late 19th century, feature deep-tufted buttoning across the backrest, sprung seating, and hand-carved solid wood legs.

Traditional Victorian seating featured solid hardwood frames, usually made from mahogany, oak, or beech, with steel coil springs, horsehair padding, and rich fabrics such as cotton velvet or damask.

Authentic Victorian pieces often feature brass castors attached to turned or square-tapered legs, hand-tied coil springs within the seat construction, and traditional upholstery tacking beneath the frame.

Position the sofa as a focal accent piece alongside minimalist modern side tables, pairing the olive or sage green velvet tones with muted neutral walls or timber panelling.

Gently vacuum velvet upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment in the direction of the pile, address spills immediately with a dry cloth, and avoid direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading.
