Label TextThis mid-19th century carved walnut sofa is in the Rococo Revival style. How do we know? It features symmetrical scrolls and curves, high-relief carving of natural motifs, and curved armrests. Not just a feast for the eyes, the sofa's padded back, seat, and armrests tells us it was also intended for comfort.
