The new (old) sofa

TaDa! This antique sofa has been cluttering up my parents garage for years. I took it round a couple of re-upholsterers who wanted to strip it of its original horsehair stuffing and replace it with modern foam. I'm so pleased I found an old school upholsterer with a love of antiques. He kept the original craftsmanship in tact and re-covered it in this plush aubergine velvet. It's the perfect low level window seat and in contrast to the modular Habitat sofa at the other end of the room, it helps bring a bit of grandeur to the place.
