This is an 1880s 19th century Victorian era mahogany sofa settee that was likely produced in America. The design has an Italianate flair and Eastlake influences. Originally this would have been part of a parlour set with a matching men's and woman's chair set and a table or two. The Victorian furniture market is currently slumped and pieces from that era sell for almost half of what they used to sell for prior to the Recession. The current design trend is for Mid-Century Modern styles which has further impacted the current sale market of Victorian furniture. The estimate is based on actual past auction record sales of comparables.
