About the Item

A beautiful Solid Oak Sofa from the 1940s featuring two spacious armchairs as an extra option to match. The coach was produced entirely in Denmark, with its previous owners taking great care of all these three pieces, something that shows clearly thanks to their wonderful condition. The fabric shows signs of use on the corners and edges — please see our photos. There are no holes or tears, and it can be used as is in its current condition. This sofa feel both traditional and practical, reflecting the mid-century Danish focus on everyday comfort and durable construction. The wide solid oak frame is eye-catching, with its beautifully shaped arms, turned legs, and stretcher supports which add strength to the design. The back and seat have all been upholstered in a woven fabric with a soft, neutral palette of beige and muted greens featuring a traditionally floral Art Deco motif. The armrests' height is 65cm (25,6 in.) The seat remains firm and supportive, with intact foam and solid internal webbing, ensuring long-lasting comfort. The wood has been carefully cleaned and oiled, bringing out its natural tone and highlighting the small variations that come with age. There are minor signs of wear consistent with its years, but overall the piece is in excellent structural and visual condition. Please check the more detailed photos for the precise tone and colour of the wood. This is a Sofa which fits beautifully into both modernist and traditional interiors, as a single piece, as an entire set, or pairing well with other oak or mid-century Scandinavian furniture and offering comfortable, durable seating with a simple, well-crafted design which can boast over seventy years of character.
