Hi! We are searching for information on the sofa in the pictures below. It is very heavy, and when we had it re-upholstered, we saw the date 1855 and a name carved into the inside of one of the arms. The name I cant completely remember, but I think it was J. Zilch, or J. Zilsh or something similar - too bad I didnt document that better. The seat cushion and throw pillows feel like they are goose-down filled. The prior fabric on the sofa was silk-like and reddish-pink & gold in color.
Whatever information you can supply would be greatly appreciated. This sofa came with our old house (1911) when we bought it - and I dont have any historical information about it. Also, do you have any idea of its value?
Thanks so much!
Charles
