Lot 460: A Three-Seater Chesterfield Sofa and Matching Gout-Style Footstool in Green Leather
A two-piece seating suite comprising a large three-seater Chesterfield sofa and a matching gout-style footstool, both upholstered in deep-buttoned forest green leather. The sofa features the traditional Chesterfield silhouette with a deep-buttoned backrest and rolled arms, finished with brass-toned nailhead trim along the front arm facings and the lower seat rail. It is fitted with three removable seat cushions. The matching footstool features a fixed, tufted leather top set upon a mahogany-finished wooden base. The stool base is constructed with curved X-frame legs joined by a single turned stretcher. There are no visible maker’s marks, stamps, or labels on the exterior of either piece. An orange adhesive price or inventory label is present on the right-hand arm of the sofa, and a white price tag is attached to the rear rail of the footstool.
