Sweet Vintage Danish Green Striped Two Seat Sofa / Love Seat
This vintage sofa is a real darling. Made for two, its high sides and back make it perfect for an alcove, a bay window, a snug or a dull corner that could do with an interesting functional feature. Upholstered in a forest green wool with a striped seat panel in mustards, greens and black with piped details, and an impressive brass studded trim to accentuate its rolling curves and lines, it’s in outstanding vintage condition. It’s clearly been loved and only used occasionally and carefully. A Danish original, this style of seat is referred to as a ‘London sofa’ there but no one really knows why. A more traditional, old-fashioned design than we would normally expect from 1960s midcentury Denmark but it’s a charmer and these more decorative pieces, with their neat dimensions and quirky details, mix and match well with other styles.
Description
These is an original, vintage sofa that are ‘sold as seen’. It is in excellent, used condition. We have given the piece a thorough vacuum but have carried out no further work as it’s in outstanding condition. The original wool upholstery is clean and in excellent order with no repairs or threadbare areas. The decorative stud pins are securely nailed in place and none are missing. The wooden legs carry some very minor scuffs but these are barely noticeable. The frame is solid and sturdy, well-made with no signs of repair or joint concerns. There is no maker’s mark on the sofa but it’s imported directly from Denmark and we believe it dates from 1960s.
Note: forgive the sunlight cast across the sofa in our photos!
