Laminated Rosewood American Victorian Boudoine Sofa Charles A. Boudouine / Boudoine American laminated rosewood Victorian Sofa ca. 1855 – similar to the one pictured in AMERICAN FURNITURE OF THE 19TH CENTURY 1840-1880 by Eileen and Richard Dubrow, page 117 bottom. There is a matching sofa in the Chicago Art Museum.

This sofa is 76 in. long, 45 in. tall, and about 30 in. deep. The intricate features of the laminated rosewood carvings are stunning. Where the upholstery is in very good condition, it needs to be professionally cleaned. The back medallions are screwed in place which is typical of Boudouine construction techniques. The overall condition of this sofa is very good – the sofa is functional, the rosewood carvings are crisp and in exceptional condition, the frame is tight, and the padding is comfortable. The laminated rosewood woodwork appears to have been professionally refinished at one time and again is in very good+ condition. This piece of museum quality Victorian furniture, which retains its original wheel castors, belongs in a museum or the home of a sophisticated connoisseur of American Victorian furniture. We also have an Extra Grade Wooton Desk, Hunzinger parlor table, and early Belter Chairs.
