Her springs have been re-aligned and re-positioned whilst her beech legs are all original and sturdy. The velvet trim is a little loose and worn in places with one of the pompom tassels lacking but not of real concern, and there is a patched hole to the forest green backing that has been sewn up. The kelim itself is good all round. The springs are soft, so this is not a firm sofa, there is a lot of give in the springs, so she is more water bed than premier inn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKelim upholstered furniture has been a popular bohemian covering for sofas since the nineteenth century. The likes of George Smith and Liberty were also keen on upholstering using kelim. This is a far more affordable sofa than that of its nineteenth century counterparts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerfect for quirky bohemian layabout sorts just about anywhere.","brand":"Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52562579095832,"sku":"kelimsofa","price":695.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5800\/5784\/files\/main-image_4ed56a8b-3db6-4692-b208-0afb0fa3ae98.jpg?v=1787571857","url":"https:\/\/doeandhope.shop\/products\/a-good-c-1940-two-seater-kelim-upholstered-sofa","provider":"doeandhope.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
