John Seymour Sofas

John and Thomas Seymour were prominent American furniture makers in the early 19th century, known for their exceptional craftsmanship and innovative designs. The Seymour family operated a successful furniture-making business in Boston, Massachusetts from the late 1700s to the mid-1800s, with John and Thomas serving as the primary craftsmen. They were known for creating pieces in the Federal style, characterized by their ornate details and use of richly figured woods such as mahogany and rosewood. John Seymour is particularly known for his skill in creating elaborate furniture forms such as four-poster beds, while Thomas Seymour was known for his expertise in carving and decorative details. The Seymour brothers' work is highly prized by collectors and museums, and their legacy continues to inspire furniture makers today.

Charles Eames Sofa Compact

By Charles Eames

Located in Toronto, Ontario

A very rare and rather exceptional sofa compact by Charles Eames for Herman Miller. This example is special for a few reasons. It is a very early model as evidenced by the centre metal bracket. It is also a folding example. Later pieces were fixed in place. This sofa also retains the original vintage Alexander Girard "giant stripe" textile. A very rare thing as most were reupholstered of originally upholstered in a basic vinyl or wool . This textile and construction dates the sofa to approx. 1959. This is most likely the best example of a vintage Sofa Compact available for sale. A true museum example. From Herham Miller website: Why “compact” for a sofa that’s six feet wide and seats three? The clean profile of the Eames sofa compact...
