French leather daybed

Superb French leather daybed, with studding to the perimeters, and a buttoned mattress and two side cushions in a quality sage velvet. One arm has a fold-out leather covered shelf for your glass of cognac, that then becomes the support when the arm is lowered to create a chaise-longue or bed. Beautiful colour and condition to the leather, with just a couple of minor and sympathetic repairs to the edge of the arms that barely register. Handsome, and versatile, and an extremely rare early example. Seat height is approximately 44cm, and the total width with the arm lowered is 219cm.
