I have inherited my grandmother's sofa and cannot identify what era it is. It weighs about 700 pounds and I can't really flip it over. I'm about to reupholster it and I'm trying to find out what it would've looked like originally. Please help me save my dear little grandmother's sofa and at least find out what it is.

First - it would be a very bad idea to change this sofa from the original before you find out the true value as changing ANYTHING could reduce the value by half or more. Of course, that all depends on the value and if you or anyone ever decides to sell the sofa.
Even if you plan to keep this sofa, you should know the value just in case you need to add it to your insurance policy.
Since you cant turn over the sofa to see markings, your best bet would be to take the pictures to a dealer who specializes in antique furniture to get an opinion. This could be a knockoff of an expensive sofa, or the real thing.
