Three-Seat Sofa with Brazilian Rosewood Legs by Ole Wanscher
SOLD
Denmark
1940s
Down, rosewood, wool
29 1/4″ high x 77″ wide x 28″ deep (seat height 17″)
A beautifully balanced design. The influence of English–especially Regency–furniture on Wanscher and his teacher Kaare Klint is quite evident in the form of this sofa. The high arms slope gracefully down from a wide, smooth back. We have reupholstered in a soft, shiitake-colored wool, and added a down-filled seat cushion. The legs are Brazilian rosewood with an elegantly expressive grain.
