Scroll Arm Sofa in William Morris Forest Linen by George Smith

We are delighted to offer for sale this lovely custom made newly reupholstered George Smith signature arm sofa with William Morris Forest Linen upholstery Where to begin! A sofa made by one of the greatest designer brand sofa makers of our generation George Smith, the most successful and iconic signature arm model which is based on the world famous Howard and Sons armchair, and one the most beautiful and decorative upholsteries ever produced the Forest Linen which is based on William Morris’s original tapestry dated 1887 and currently on display at the V&A Victoria and Albert Museum What more can I say! As mentioned it's been fully and newly reupholstered, the work is exquisite and I had a lot of input to make sure the pattern repeat was exactly what I wanted, so when you look at the front of the sofa and you see the wolf and peacock on to the top of the seat cushion it flows perfectly to the front of the cushion and then down to the sofa base Both cushions are fully upholstered so if the worst happened and you stained one side you can simply flip them over. They are overstuffed with goose feathers. A unique feature of the very best George Smith and Howard & Sons sofas is the cushions recess inside the frame under the backrest, this means you are never sitting on the back edge of the cushion which tends to shrink, you are sitting a few inches in with more support Dimensions Height:- 83cm Width:- 226cm Depth:- 110cm Seat height:- 52cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point CONDITION Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade
