168: A LATE 19TH CENTURY EMPIRE STYLE MAHOGANY DAY BED

The out-swept sides terminating in gilt- bronze swan heads in repose, one rail centered with gilt-mounted winged lions and scrolling acanthus vine, raised on four gilt-bronze busts of winged lions, mahogany knees terminating in gilt paw feet. Upholstered in cream tone on tone striped silk upholstery with two tasseled bolster pillows. Measures 36 x 73.5 x 28 inches. This lot was originally offered without reserve in our July 8, 2016 auction. The buyer, a Manhattan auction house owner and television show furniture appraiser, never paid for his purchases. As a result, this property from the Joseph Candioto Trust is being offered again without reserve.
Good condition noting the legs with reinforcements and ongoing issues of being somewhat loose in their mounts typical for the form. Spotting to one bolster and the bench seat in one area.
$800 - $1,400
