Gorgeous in appearance and carved throughout with curved back for added beauty and attention to detail in addition to each leg having carvings in a lovely classic manner.  Recently upholstered in antique French Silk Fabric which were once drapes and hung in a Chateau in France.  The cushion is reversible with mohair/cotton on the opposite side which is new fabric in the color of light gold.  The Antique  Silk fabric circa late 1800's early 1900 having gathering surroundings and due to age  having frayed surrounding the gathered areas and corners however does not effect the beauty and quality of this piece.  Each arm is individual upholstered and remains lovely and the back side  & the interior having the charm of age water  markings in the Antique silk fabric and blends beautiful with the entire piece thus gives much charm. The removable cushion is the original as found and bought. The wood having a washed like appearance in different colors. If you prefer you could easily change its color. Beneath the chaise if you look carefully you will notice webbing and then the black cloth for protection of dust. I have foot pads on each leg and can be removed or they fall of easily being small felt ones. The silk Antique French fabric blends with just about anything and the pillow and surroundings do not come with this piece.  The back I had button tufted for added beauty when shown from the backside. I had a zipper added for the removable cushion as well and welting surroundings as shown.  This is a Gorgeous piece for comfort and appearance for any room. The paint is believed to be the original and well worn and faded through the long years and giving it a charming washed appearance. This is truly a harder to find piece anywhere and sure to adorn any room with added richness and comfort.

KNOBPG.FURN.   Wonderful and Unique Antique French pr. of Gnomes Fireplace set.   Each is heavy and made of iron on the backside and bronze on the front side.  Their eyes are hollow so one can view through them.  There is a loop/hook shown below their nose for you to use a rod if you prefer one-----or  use them just as they are.  If you wish to use resting on a table for something different -- you might want to place a rod over this hook on each Gnome and then place a small tapestry hanging from it.  You could use these for many purposes--- another idea might be for one to use inside your  bathroom using one of your own ornate rods and place beneath their noses on the hooks shown and then place a decorative towel on this rod.  The are in beautiful condition and I know someone would truly treasure them.

Repairs needed that I see are as such:  The entire interior is missing all the pigeon holes--however you might want it left like this as there is so much more room for paperwork, phone, computer, calculator etc. also the right hand side needs repair at the very upper... photos coming soon on this area.
