Title: Information wanted about a sofa and chairs
Post by: Stephen on February 13, 2013, 06:24:31 am
Hi,
One of my colleagues has received this sofa and the chairs from his grandmother:

(Click on pictures to enlarge.)
Do any of you recognized this style of sofa or the chairs and do you know anything about this type of sofa or the chairs or when they were made? The owner of the sofa thinks that it was made in the 50's. What do you think? What can you tell us about this sofa?

Best Wishes,
Stephen

I've done sofas similar to that one. And I've done chairs exactly like those. I always considered them to be a 50's American variation of French Provincial furniture. I'll bet Bruno could ID them properly.

I would agree looks like 50`s to me.
