About the Item

An 18th century Swedish (Trågsoffa) from the Rococo period with original linen seat, back, and side cushions.

This trag sofa bench is in excellent condition with intricately carved Rococo details: flowing curves, cabriole legs, and shell motif. This beautiful Trågsoffa sofa has a patina that only age can provide. The cushions are still covered in the original beige colored hemp linen, circa 1800s. It is simply and purely beautiful.
