Illustrated documentation included.

This is a model of a Victorian camel-back sofa which is a classic piece of furniture that exudes elegance and historical charm. Characterized by its arched back that peaks in the center, resembling a camel's hump, this sofa design was popularized during the Victorian era. It features either a tufted burgundy leather back and leather cushions, or a Damask pattern on the cushions with accent pillows.  It features spindled wooden legs, scrolled arms with hand carved details on the arms and back. The craftsmanship of a Victorian camel-back sofa is meticulous, with a sturdy mahogany wood construction, making it a sophisticated addition to any traditional living space. The design reflects the grandeur and attention to detail typical of the period, offering both comfort and a timeless aesthetic appeal.
