About the Item
Note: We have additional matching sofa and lounge chair sets undergoing restoration and can offer sofas and chairs in multiples and with custom upholstery options. Please reach out for further details.
This expertly-crafted, elegantly proportioned three-seat mohair sofa with solid brass base from the 1940s has a distinctive profile with clean, minimalist lines and style reference that bridges Art Deco and mid-century Scandinavian modern. This exceptional and historical vintage sofa has been professionally restored and reupholstered in luxury mohair fabric in a gorgeous shade of mink. The sofa features a distinctive one-piece solid brass base which has been restored and polished to original sheen.
This beautiful sofa is part of a collection of furniture originally designed and custom built for the SS City of Midland 41, a luxury ferry liner that saw its heyday in the mid-20th century and traversed Lake Michigan from Michigan to Wisconsin. The interior of the vessel was decorated with period mid-century modern furniture, including furniture designed by Eero Saarinen and manufactured by Knoll. The interior design of the ship was commissioned to Chicago-based design firm Mandel Bros. The company was founded in 1855 and Mandel Bros. became one of Chicago's leading department stores. These sofas and chairs were custom designed and fitted for the ship by the firm. We have a wide selection of furniture pieces that have been rescued from the ship and are undergoing professional restoration. This classic furniture would be perfect for home or hospitality setting.
Note: List price is for sofa only. Matching lounge chair for sale separately. Please reach out for custom orders.
CONDITION
Excellent vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. Sofa has been professionally restored and reupholstered. Mohair fabric has natural nap variances. Solid brass base has been polished to retain character and signs of natural aging. The sofa was originally secured to the vessel with screws in the feet of the base. We have inserted decorative brass screws for design purposes only. Screws do not function and can be removed.
