This sofa consists of a shaped mahogany back rail with carved foliate and scrolling decoration, the back, seat and arms of deep buttoned brown leather in excellent condition, the arm supports differ in design, one having a finely carved foliate design with gadroon collar and carved paterae, the other arm consisting of finely carved scrolling decoration.  

This leads down to a moulded front rail supported by four tulip shaped legs, the front legs being carved, all supported by original brass castors, the back being upholstered with the same brown leather.
