About the Item
Art Deco Walnut Sofa with Pull-Out Daybed Function, Prague, 1930s
Elegant Art Deco sofa from Prague, 1930s, crafted in richly figured walnut and featuring a rare pull-out daybed mechanism. Fully restored and newly upholstered.
This refined Art Deco sofa was produced in Prague during the 1930s and beautifully illustrates the sophisticated design language of Central European modernism. Executed in richly figured walnut with a warm, deep patina, the piece combines sculptural elegance with a functional innovation that was highly advanced for its time.
The sofa’s curved solid-walnut armrests soften the rectilinear geometry of the frame, creating the characteristic balance between fluidity and structure seen in high-quality Art Deco furniture. The walnut veneer displays striking grain patterns, enhancing the decorative presence of the piece. Recently reupholstered in a patterned premium fabric, the cushions offer both visual interest and comfortable support, finished with precise tailoring.
One of the sofa’s most distinctive features is its original pull-out daybed function. Concealed beneath the seat, a wooden platform extends effortlessly to transform the sofa into a practical guest bed or lounging surface. The brass side rails, preserved in authentic aged condition, testify to the ingenuity and craftsmanship typical of Prague ateliers in this period. When closed, the mechanism integrates seamlessly with the base, maintaining the sofa’s compact and elegant proportions.
This piece is ideal for a living room, study, boutique interior, or as a functional centerpiece in an Art Deco-inspired setting. Its combination of versatility, fine materials, and historical authenticity makes it not only a beautiful decorative item but also a collectible example of 1930s Central European design.

Italian Art Deco Two-Seat Sofa in Walnut Burl with Original Velvet, Naples, 1930s – Museum Quality
This exceptional Italian Art Deco two-seat sofa, crafted in the 1930s, is a rare example of the refined craftsmanship and sculptural design that defined Italian decorative arts during the interwar period. Originating from a private villa in Naples, the piece remains in fully original and museum-quality condition, perfectly matching the pair of lounge chairs from the same ensemble.
The sofa features an elegant U-shaped frame in walnut burl, showcasing extraordinary book-matched grain patterns and a deep, lustrous patina. Its sweeping curves and plinth base reflect the luxurious architectural forms of Italian Art Deco, while the two carved wooden spheres integrated into the lower structure emphasize balance and movement — hallmarks of period design.
The seat and back retain their original jacquard velvet upholstery in rich tones of burgundy, gold, and olive green. The fabric’s geometric floral motifs and tactile texture convey the opulence of 1930s Italian interiors...
