Condition report

Perfectly charming Miniature Victorian Scroll back Sofa in remarkable original condition. This mahogany framed miniature is in seemingly untouched original condition, retaining the historic upholstery and has developed a genuine richly patinated surface. It is impossible to know if it was made as a tradesman's sample, a toy or an apprentice piece, but whatever, this is an engaging piece of antique miniature furniture with real charm and character. No signs of damage or restoration but bearing scars and bruises commensurate with age and function.
