Description

A 19th century country house sofa by Hampton and Sons of Pall Mall - London. Raised on 4 turned walnut legs and casters. The base of the chair bears the makers Plaque.

Retaining its original innards and top tatty covering with reusable braid. This would have been quite a show stopper when back in its hay day. We like the mix of floral and purple velvet which has now faded. It could be refinished in the same taste by our upholsterers.

Structurally in good solid condition and for upholstery.

As with all our upholstered seating we do offer upholstery should you wish.

42cm seat height

Date of Manufacture

Desired Effect Antiques Ltd has dated this Antique Upholstered Sofa to the 1880s.

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.

Secure Transit

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.

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

Nineteenth-century country house sofas are characterised by deep, generous proportions, sprung seats, and scrolled arms, designed primarily for comfort in large domestic settings.

These sofas typically feature a sturdy hardwood frame, such as beech or mahogany, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and heavy textile upholstery like velvet, damask, or brocade.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carving details, traditional joinery methods, maker stamps or paper labels where applicable, and natural wear patterns consistent with age on internal webbings and fillings.

Pairing this traditional piece with minimalist contemporary architecture, neutral walls, and sleek lighting creates a striking balance between historic character and modern design.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, and maintaining stable room humidity to protect the wooden frame.
