Lot description

English Chippendale style three-seat camelback sofa, early 20th c., having shaped back with fixed cushions, over three removable seat cushions, scrolled arms, in a later floral upholstery, over square legs, approx: 35"h, 79"w, 36"d, seat height: approx 20"h Provenance: The lifetime collection of Lynn Roth Jordan (Louisiana, Texas, 1943-2021). As an active member of the Austin Antiques Club for many years, Lynn was deeply embedded in the antiques community here in Austin. Her New Orleans upbringing in a family of collectors (many of the pieces come from her mother's estate), combined with her frequent trips to England, gave her a unique understanding of provenance, quality, and historical significance. The estate features an extensive array of English furniture alongside antique decorative objects, the kind of exceptional pieces that only reveal themselves to collectors who know where to look and what to seek.
