Art Deco "President" Stick Reed Rattan Fan Back Settee and Sofa Set
About the Item
The Art Deco president stick reed rattan fan back sofa set features a 3 seater sofa and 2 seat settee. Both sofas have a distinctive fan-back form and an hourglass silhouette crafted from natural rattan with intricate reed rattan detailing. The set features a spindle design with soft cushion top seats.
The "President" style was made famous after Franklin D. Roosevelt's use of reed rattan furniture aboard his presidential yacht the USS Potomac beginning in the late 1930s. The set is a great mix of early modern design with a casual tropical vibe. Perfect for enhancing any living space with warmth and sophisticated design elements.

We have in stock at this time a vast array of rattan from all of these designers, decorators, and architects; their sofas, chairs, and tables, just about all their designed products from the 40s through the '60s.
All rattan, bamboo, and wicker furniture has been painstakingly refurbished to the highest standards with the best materials. Rattan workers do all refinishing with over 30 years of experience. Every wrapping and joint has been inspected by “The Rattan Man” Harvey Schwartz to guarantee you the finest product available and enjoy for years in your home or office.
