<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Debora, post: 209391, member: 1476&quot;]The head is a Colonial South American angel motif.&nbsp; Beneath it are carved banana leaves.&nbsp; The style is <i>isabelino </i>which is (roughly) equivalent to our Victorian period.&nbsp; Naive in design rather than sophisticated.&nbsp; I would call it a “tête-à-tête&quot; rather than a love seat.&nbsp; As to origin, my feeling -- and it&#039;s just a feeling -- is Central American rather than South American.&nbsp; Certainly worth exploring further because there can&#039;t be a lot of antique furniture of this type around.&nbsp; (And why, oh, why can&#039;t people choose more &quot;sympathetic&quot; upholstery fabric.&nbsp; Fleur-de-lis?&nbsp; Jeez.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
