About the Item

Italian Modern sofa in original blue tweed upholstery supported by cast solid brass tapered legs (ca. 1960s). Attractive form characterized by deeply sculpted, winged arm rests and sharp, clean lines. Sofa has been cleaned, but tweed shows wear (spotting and light fading along with one small spot of discoloration on the seat where a small hole was previously repaired). Cast brass shows patina/spots to the polished brass, as shown. Overall, good, vintage condition, usable as is with aforementioned wear. Foam and internal structure are sound.
