Description: Three piece Renaissance Revival walnut Victorian parlor suite attributed to John Jeliff, Newark, NJ. Each piece has a open carved top crest with an intricately carved head within a circle molding. The frames are decorated with carved buttons, incised carvings and shaped burled panels. The heads on the arms are the trademark of the Jeliff firm. In "American Furniture of the 19th Century" by Eileen and Richard Dubrow, a sofa on page 181 and table on page 183, both attributed to Jeliff, have the identical carved head motif. The frames are supported on round turned legs in front with all original brass castors. The sofa has a wonderful design with a suspended upholstered oval panel in the middle surrounded by a fancy walnut frame. The fabric was put on a number of years ago by a previous owner. It is still usable but you might wish to get it reupholstered. The Jeliff heads on the arms are typical but not all Jeliff pieces have the carved head also in the crest. The frame of this suite is in remarkably fine original condition. Circa: 1870 Dimensions (sofa): 46.5"H x 71"W Dimensions (chairs): 41"H x 28"W Finish: Good original finish with a rich patina Price: $4950.00 For the three piece suite
