Artist Sofa Appraisal

Grandma Moses Fabric Sofa

This is a three-seater sofa notable for its distinctive upholstery featuring a 'Grandma Moses' style pastoral print. The fabric showcases a vibrant palette primarily dominated by various shades of green, depicting a bucolic landscape with what appear to be fields, trees, and possibly small figures or animals, consistent with the folk art style of Grandma Moses. The sofa design suggests a traditional or possibly mid-century aesthetic, likely from the mid-20th century, given the fabric style and construction cues. The cushioning appears full and plush, indicating it is likely generously stuffed, consistent with the provided information that it is horsehair-stuffed. The sofa features classic rolled arms, each upholstered in the same patterned fabric. It has three separate back cushions and a single, long seat cushion spanning the entire length of the sofa. The overall condition appears good for its age, with no visible rips, tears, or major stains on the upholstery in the visible areas. However, there is a significant condition issue noted: some legs are broken off, which would compromise its structural integrity for standing, requiring repair or replacement. The construction quality, indicated by the full cushions and substantial appearance, suggests a well-made piece of furniture for its era. The unique fabric pattern is the primary distinguishing feature and likely indicator of its style and potential age.
