Boudoine American laminated rosewood Victorian Sofa ca. 1855 – similar to the one pictured in AMERICAN FURNITURE OF THE 19TH CENTURY 1840-1880 by Eileen and Richard Dubrow, page 117 bottom. There is a matching sofa in the Chicago Art Museum. This sofa is 76” long, 45.5” tall, and about 30” deep. The intricate features of the laminated rosewood carvings are stunning. Where the upholstery is in very good condition, it needs to be professionally cleaned. The back medallions are screwed in place which is typical of Boudouine construction techniques. The overall condition of this sofa is very good – the sofa is functional, the rosewood carvings are crisp and in exceptional condition, the frame is tight, and the padding is comfortable.
