About the Item

Italian Art Deco Two-Seat Sofa in Walnut Burl with Original Velvet, Naples, 1930s – Museum Quality This exceptional Italian Art Deco two-seat sofa, crafted in the 1930s, is a rare example of the refined craftsmanship and sculptural design that defined Italian decorative arts during the interwar period. Originating from a private villa in Naples, the piece remains in fully original and museum-quality condition, perfectly matching the pair of lounge chairs from the same ensemble. The sofa features an elegant U-shaped frame in walnut burl, showcasing extraordinary book-matched grain patterns and a deep, lustrous patina. Its sweeping curves and plinth base reflect the luxurious architectural forms of Italian Art Deco, while the two carved wooden spheres integrated into the lower structure emphasize balance and movement — hallmarks of period design. The seat and back retain their original jacquard velvet upholstery in rich tones of burgundy, gold, and olive green. The fabric’s geometric floral motifs and tactile texture convey the opulence of 1930s Italian interiors. Despite its age, the textile remains beautifully preserved, showing only minor signs of use consistent with careful maintenance. The wooden frame shows a few small, old woodworm traces, which have been professionally treated and stabilized, ensuring both structural integrity and long-term preservation. Highly decorative yet comfortable, this sofa is an extraordinary collector’s piece and can be combined with the matching armchairs for a complete Art Deco salon set of museum caliber.
