Lot 147
Description:
A Federal Carved Mahogany Sofa, early 19th c., attributed to Henry Connelly and Ephraim Haines, Philadelphia, molded crest, reeded scrolled arms topped by acanthus and terminating in bosses, straight seat rail, reeded tapered legs topped by paterae, ending in button feet, height 35 in., width 75 in., depth 26 1/2 in.
- Notes: Note: The reeded legs and bulb-turned feet on this sofa, typical of many found on Philadelphia pieces, are very similar to those on a sofa with Ephraim Haines' bill of sale in the Stephen Girard collection. The distinctive serpentine arm supports on this sofa are very similar to those on a Philadelphia easy chair at Winterthur and a sofa installed at the Barclay Farmstead in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
