About the Item

Stunning vintage mid-century modern modified Lawson style sofa with a channeled back, black frieze fabric, round tapered walnut legs and brass sabots. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. The sofa is in overall wonderful condition; however, the fabric has an overall slight fading from sunlight giving it an aubergine tone. There are no flaws that we have found, and it has a new dust cover. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Mid-20th Century. Seating with a STATEMENT!! Just take another look at this absolutely gorgeous mid-century modern modified Lawson style sofa! It’s designed with low swooped arms; hence, “modified” Lawson style and a fabulous, channeled back. It has two large loose seat cushions with new foam, a new dust cover, and six straight round tapered walnut legs with brass sabots. It’s wearing a wonderful black frieze fabric that has kind of an aubergine overcast as we believe it may have been in the sunlight in its prior home, but it’s in overall wonderful condition and we think the tones are quite lovely.

Mid-Century Modern Black Faux Leather Love Seat Sofa by Taylor Chair Co. Style D
By Dunbar Furniture, Taylor Chair co., Harvey Probber, Edward Wormley
Located in Topeka, KS
Handsome Mid-Century Modern love seat length sofa in black vinyl faux leather upholstery and walnut base in the style of Wormley for Dunbar or Harvey Probber. It is in wonderful vintage condition. We believe the black vinyl to be fairly new. The walnut base does have age appropriate little nicks and dings. Please see photos, circa 1960s. It is hard to say who designed and produced this fabulously gorgeous and simple streamline Mid-Century Modern style sofa first. Was is Edward Wormley for Dunbar? Was it Harvey Probber or Florence Knoll? Or, did Taylor Chair Company, the maker of this particular love seat, actually make their rendition first? Does it matter? You will love the lines and materials used in this two-seat love seat Lawson shape sofa with a tight back and two loose seat cushions. It is covered in a very nice and natural looking black faux leather vinyl. So close to the real thing its is hard to tell the difference. And sets on a walnut Parsons’ style base. Simple but very handsome. Taylor Chair Company was founded by Benjamin Fitch in 1816 Bedford, Ohio. He originally made split-bottom chairs in his cabin. In 1841 one of Mr. Fitch’s employees, William O. Taylor, married Mr. Fitch’s daughter. William quickly took over active management of the company and by late 1940s the company became known as W.O. Taylor Factory. After a fire in the original location the factory moved. In 1871 W.O. Taylor’s son, Vincent A. Taylor, took the helm and the name was changed to W.O. Taylor and Son as they became an award-winning company. In 1885 the company incorporated becoming a public company known as The Taylor Chair...
