OFF TOPIC - looking for opinions

First - I have no clue how I got on their mailing list, but I get auction
preview flyers from a large auction house in Atlanta...

Yesterday, I got another and for the first time time in ages, instead of
drooling, I went GACK...

So, what do you folks think

If I take away the upholstery, I can appreciate it. I could appreciate the
upholstery on a different suite, something more "American"

Personally my taste runs to contemporary, modern, oriental and/or colonial
style, but I could see the carved piece in someone else's very ornate
living room. A plain silk upholstery would enhance the wood and calm it
down.

The upholstery IMHO should have stayed in it's original state on the cow.

I could see the cow hide on some Western or "cabin" style...

I definitely agree, Cheryl - the cowhide ruins it`s AWFUL! An old friend of
mine had a very similar sofa in her bedroom (a GENUINE antique) covered in a
lovely muted red velvet, which looked lovely. After she died it went for a
small fortune at auction.

Get a bigger basin ;^p I've never been fond of cowhide upholstery, and
definitely not on ornate Victoriana. For that matter, I'm really not fond
of typical Victorian style furniture. But, with different covering it could
be nice. Or something.

Provided you have a downtrodden Victorian maid to keep it dusted, that is.

Snort!

I'd have to wear blindfolds whenever I went in the room - bleech!
However, I have a friend who'd looooves that type of stuff. Luckily
for her (IMO), she's in the midst of paying for daughter's college and
wedding expenses.....I'm going to have to send her the link
