Louis 16th Sofa leg, without a ribbon around its knee.
The real thing. It hasn’t exercised in years!
Whatever is its secret!
The leg is steady on its heel and stands as straight
and tall as the day it was carved!
How many sofa legs can stand up to that claim?
The hand woven fabric…has endured too!
Certainly, many of couch potatoes
have planted themselves here.
Next time you buy something new,
ask yourself will it be around
in two hundred years?
Will it look as good then, as it does today?
Those Louis’ knew the secret to long-life…
Well not all of them, poor Louis 16th!
