Yolanda Gray Antiques has dated this piece to the 1800s.
The couch features a well-carved central floral pediment, flanked by a shaped rail to each corner of the couch. Equally, the couch boasts an elegant moulded frieze. Decorative sunburst carved cartouches can be seen at the top of the fluted legs. The couch stands on elegant ring turned fluted legs to the front with the original brass collars and socket castors on all four legs.
The couch has been newly upholstered in top quality full grain brown tan leather. The back of the couch boasts a deep-buttoned back. The leather frame is studded in traditional metal studs, in keeping with the original design. The couch features a webbed base, the original detachable horsehair swab cushion and two bolster cushions at each end. The settee seats 3 – 4 persons.
The couch converts into a bed by unhooking the moulded mahogany frieze from each corner below the swab cushion. By pulling a fabric tab, the hinged metamorphic wooden base extends out of the frame of the couch to produce a bed frame. There are two internal boxes near each arm that are used to store four screw-on legs. The legs attach to the underside of the bed frame. There is a separate single mattress with the bed, which can be used in conjunction with the leather swab cushion and bolster cushions to create a mattress and cushions.

Condition Report:
The couch is in excellent condition having just been professionally reupholstered with top quality full grain brown tan leather. Therefore, the leather upholstery is new, free from wear, damage, rips, and fading. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the mahogany frame but nothing significant considering the age of the item. There is no missing carving to the frame. The couch is solid with no breaks, splits or movements. It sits firm on the ground and does not wobble. As the couch boasts the original polish, it has a mellow colour and patination.
