About the Item

A beautiful and elegant three-seater sofa made in Sweden during the 1930s–1940s, representing the refined and decorative character of the Swedish Modern period. The sofa features a gracefully curved and fully upholstered body framed by sculptural elm armrests that continue down into the front legs. The warm tone and visible grain of the elm create a beautiful contrast to the darker textile and emphasize the sofa’s flowing silhouette. The sofa retains its original floral upholstery, featuring a distinctive tulip pattern in muted shades of grey, beige and light blue against a dark background. The original fabric remains beautifully preserved and contributes greatly to the authentic character of the piece. The vertically channelled backrest and generously upholstered seat create an inviting and elegant expression. A particularly decorative example of Swedish upholstered furniture from the period, combining sculptural wooden details, generous proportions and beautifully preserved original textile. This fine sofa will complement many interior styles. A Vintage, Classic, Scandinavian, Modern, or an Art Deco home decor.
