Rare circa 1860 Huge Victorian Brown Leather Barrel Back Suite Sofa Armchair
About the Item
We are delighted to offer for sale this stunning sofa and armchair suite of very rare oversized Victorian barrel back armchair and sofa in fully restored hand dyed brown leather
These are a good early pair, circa 1860, they have the period fluted backs, coil-sprung base with hessian cover, horsehair and hessian padding, the wings are absolutely massive, both pieces are very substantial, they weigh maybe three times as much as a modern reproduction piece. The feet are hand carved in the early Georgian manor but as mentioned I believe these to be later Victorian pieces
Both pieces have been fully restored to include being hand dyed this deep cigar brown color, the hessian base covers have been replaced, some repairs to the cushion linings and base covers and so on, they are a good old pair in ready to go condition
The only point to note is the back of the sofa has been repaired, there was a large straight line tear in the leather which has been padded and sealed internally, we could have / still can replace the whole back panel of leather however as its the original hide we have left it as it is

Paul Frankl 'Speed' Art Deco Living Room Suite in Black Leather, circa 1930s
By Paul Frankl
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This incredible Paul Frankl attributed 'Speed' full living room suite is comprised of a three-seat sofa, a 2-seat sofa, armchair and ottoman. The 3-seat sofa and armchair are original 1930s production based on the interior construction details and visible age. The 2-seat sofa and ottoman were created later in the 1980s to match the set and everything was then reupholstered to a thick quality black leather.
I personally love this set - the wide arms are perfect for placing a glass of Scotch and an ashtray to enjoy a nice cigar. The deep black color and matching black block feet provide ample masculine style while the shape and silhouette provide a refined and classy vibe. The leather is thick and quality, also smooth and soft to the touch.
The collector who acquired this sofa and armchair, purportedly in the 1980s, stated he found what he believed to be a Frankl Galleries (Paul Frankl's 1930s showroom) original example of the Speed sofa...
