Rare Victorian Damask Upholstery Walnut Carved Lion Paw Feet Sofa Armchair Suite

19th century
Description

Royal House Antiques

Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this original Victorian walnut framed three-piece suite with Walnut hand carved Lion hair paw feet.

Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote, please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price.

A very high quality and well-made example, the cushions are all medium feather filled, they are fully upholstered on both sides so should the worse happen and you stain one side you can simply flip it over. The complete frame is all metal coil sprung, that’s the arms, the base and the back, the front panel is also sprung which is rare and a sign of the highest quality seating. The front panel (which sits behind you knee) is usually a solid piece of timber, on luxury models is coil sprung which offers extra comfortable. The padding is all original horse hair, if you squeeze it you will hear the crunch.

The Damask upholstery seems to be in very good order, there is an ever so slight little discoloration on the side panel of the sofa, it’s almost impossible to see, I tried to picture it but it’s so faint it wouldn’t show up. Otherwise, I genuinely can’t see a mark on it.

The frame is walnut and the legs are all Lion hairy paw in the 17th century style, they have been cleaned waxed and polished.

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.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

A Victorian salon suite typically consists of matching upholstered seating items, such as a sofa and accompanying armchairs, designed for formal reception rooms during the nineteenth century. These suites featured carved timber frameworks, prominent legs, and pattern-woven upholstery fabrics.

Victorian upholstered seating was built around solid hardwood frames, predominantly walnut, mahogany, or oak. Internal construction utilised hand-tied steel coil springs, natural jute webbing, and horsehair padding beneath woven fabrics such as damask, velvet, or brocade.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces feature hand-carved wood details, traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon joints, and substantial weight due to solid hardwood construction. Examining the underside often reveals original spring structures, jute webbing, or hand-tacked upholstery layers.

A Victorian damask suite can be integrated into modern interiors by pairing light upholstery colours with neutral architectural backgrounds, contemporary lighting fixtures, and sleek minimalist coffee tables to create a visual balance between classic and modern elements.

Damask fabric should be gently vacuumed regularly using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust accumulation. Timber legs require periodic cleaning with a damp cloth followed by application of a high-grade natural beeswax polish to maintain the walnut finish.
