This is the real deal. Absolutely breathtaking original settee. Kept in perfect shape. Unbelievable how perfect it really is. Features a sphinx under the armrests, and a gryphon on each front leg. Very nice, very unique. Mahogany. I have only seen one other like this one, and it was a really terribly made replica. The details show its amazing quality. This will be in your family for many generations if kept clean.
This settee was used at the Norwegian consulate in Los Angeles, and hardly ever sat on! It has been in my family for 25 years. It is 175 +/- years old. You will never see another one like it.
