So I am interested in finding a sofa/lounger from the Victorian era. I don't necessarily want an original from that era.. a modern duplicate is fine (I assume that will be cheaper than an original). I found some examples on ebay in the UK but I am looking in the US only.Some examples that I like:http://www.ebay .uk/itm/L-FRENCH-LOUIS-STYLE-MEDIUM-SIZE-BLACK-SILVER-DIAMOND-CHAISE-LONGUE-SOFA-FREE-D-/190712591793?pt=UK_Antiques_AntiqueFurniture_SMhash=item2c675b35b1http://www.ebay .uk/itm/Stunning-Antique-Chaise-Longue-/280941657453?pt=UK_Antiques_AntiqueFurniture_SMhash=item41696d7d6d#ht_500wt_1282I am particularly fond of the damask pattern as shown in example 2, but overall I want the look of the sofa in that era.. I can always reupholster it if I don't like the fabric.Thanks for your help.
I've seen furniture of that type (I think they're called fainting couches) in mainstream furniture stores, where the customer can select upholstery fabric, like they can on any sofa or chair, and end up with a custom piece. Start with the most traditional furniture stores where you live. They may not have many, or even any, but a large one should. Skip discount places and department stores' furniture departments. We shopped for this sort of thing for our living room at one point, but in the end decided to go with more modern pieces, which we're still using. I remember we had our pick of four or five at that time, though, and this was in Texas, where you don't think you'll find a lot of Victorian-inspired furniture.
