Very Rare Holland and Sons Victorian Conversation Couch / Settee. NOTE: Reasonable offers accepted. This Settee came to us from an Aunt who was a traveling performer and acquired it from a London hotel in the 1980s. We do not know the exact age. Each of the three legs are stamped with Holland & Sons. It is a lovely purple velvet. Note there are some stains which one would expect from a hotel piece. There are no visible tears, but two buttons are missing from the arm / back rest. One leg had broken and I repaired it as well as replaced the dust cover on the bottom. I have the original fabric from the original dust cover and will send it with the settee. The fabric and springs are in good condition. Keep it as is to retain its antiqueness or have it re-upholstered for an exceptional piece. Ive tried to show the fabric and color accurately but thats very difficult for velvet and digital photography. I recommend an on-site inspection. Approximate Dimensions: 48 inches across. The seat is 16 inches from the floor with the top of the back / arm rest being 28.5 inches tall. Settee Weight: 85 lbs. Information Below Excerpted from Antiques World website. Holland and Sons Antique Furniture (1803 1942). Holland and sons were extremely good cabinet makers and they specialised in fine quality furniture. This English furniture making firm was founded in 1803 by William Holland and by the middle of 1800s, Holland and sons was one of the main competitions to the furniture makers Gillows, one of the greatest English furniture producers in History. Original they were cabinet makers and upholsterers called Taprelland Holland but by 1843 they changed to Holland and Sons with William Holland in control, a relative of the well known Regency architect Henry Holland. The business soon started to expand quickly and by1851 they employed over 350 cabinet makers and by 1852 took on the prestigious firm of Thomas Dowbiggin of 23 Mount Street, London, who had previously made the state throne for Victorias Coronation. Holland and Sons worked successfully not only as furniture makers but also as undertakers and became responsible for the Duke of Wellingtons funeral. William Holland has the firm expanding at a rapid rate and became so well known for its quality in cabinet making, they became cabinetmakers and upholsters to the Queen. Their first commission was for Osborne House in 1845, supplying furniture in the Queens favourite style of the time, the Louis XVI style from France. They continued to supply furniture for Osborne and gained further commissions for Windsor Castle, Balmoral and Marlborough House. Holland and sons also worked for many leading institutions such as the reform Club (we have also supplied the reform club with our antique furniture in the past), the British Museum and the new Houses of Parliament. They were part of many of the important international Exhibitions including London in 1862, Vienna in 1873 and Paris in 1867 and 1872. They gained worldwide fame for their magnificent designs and super quality in cabinetmaking right throughout the Victorian era. Holland and sons stayed as a family run business but sadly closed in 1942 when it fell on hard times due to the ever changing world of the time.
