Mart,

Thanks so much for your reply. I have no history on the sofa, as I found it on the street. (I live in Hollywood.) One person's trash is another's treasure, right? I am having it reupholstered and restuffed, as I have no idea where it's been, and don't want to take any chances with bedbugs or the like. Plus, the current upholstery looks much better in the picture than it does in real life. I just LOVE the frame, so for me it's worth it.

I looked at the "Golden Eagle" furniture, and the cameo is quite similar. Very cool - thanks for pointing that out.

Again, thanks so much for taking the time to reply.

Best,
Courtney

Antique Questions Forum / Sofa of unknown origin

I am trying to figure out the time period for my sofa. It has Empire-like qualities, but the legs are wrong. It also has a large oval stone in the woodwork at the top-middle of the back.

Pictures are of full couch and the stone detail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Courtney
