Sofa 1805 - 1815

This "Sofa" by Duncan Phyfe, a prominent American furniture maker, dates to 1805-1815. The elegant piece, crafted from mahogany and featuring intricate carving, showcases Phyfe's signature style which incorporated neoclassical motifs with American design elements. The sofa's graceful lines, rounded arms, and slender legs, along with the striped upholstery, embody the refined taste of the early 19th century. Now displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, it's a testament to Phyfe's lasting influence on American furniture design.
