Antique Ship’s Sofa |
|
A teak Ship's Sofa with a caned seat and iron rings under the sides for tying down in stormy weather. The double caned panels to the back and sides are a sign of the good quality of this piece of furniture, as is the finishing to the top edge of the uprights to ensure a cleaner finish than that given by end grain. Although there is no evidence of any fittings to retain the sleeper, it is probable that this sofa would have doubled in use as a bed. We have had a similar model before that did have marks suggesting a bar could be used to keep the user from falling out of bed in high seas. Circa 1840. H 28 1/2 W 66 1/2 D 25 3/4 |
