Identify Type of Antique Sofa maybe french provincial or hollywood regency?

[alternativesources]

We are trying to help a friend clear out her family estate.  Antique furniture is not anything I know about.  If anyone has some helpful information on the era or "style" type it would be greatly appreciated.

I would call it an Italian Provincial or French Provincial Fainting Couch with Tufted back but then I am no expert on furniture.

First, it is almost undoubtedly *not* an antique, but a vintage piece. It has no real recognizable style, although one could argue it has some Victorian and possibly Italian roots, based on the tufting and scalloped back. In my estimation, it is at best Hollywood Regency, but really just a mishmash with very odd proportions. I would date it to most likely the 1950s or 1960s, or at the very earliest, the 1930s.

Agree.  And well-described.

This is Rococo style. If you google Rococo, you will see very similar pieces. Italian provincial is very different from Rococo - it is more linear than the curvy Rococo. The material looks to be matelasse, possibly mid 50's. Good luck

Thanks so much for all the help. I have never looked at Rococo but will now. I understand it isn't a true antique just trying to get a description. Thanks again.
