Lot 29
Bruno Mathsson - A Mid-Century Modern Velvet Upholstered Sofa (20th Century)
Description
A mid-20th century Scandinavian Modern four-seat sofa attributed to Bruno Mathsson for Dux, upholstered in an olive green velvet textile and featuring an integrated tight backrest lined with four loose cushions over two elongated, bench-style seat cushions flanked by enclosed, gently canted tracking arms, with the entire structural frame elevated upon a linear exposed light-stained wood support base mounted with six tapered round wood legs.
Details
Velvet upholstery, mixed hardwoods, foam core cushioning
96 x 27 x 33 inches
Provenance
The Estate of Richard Flood, Writer, Curator, and Former Editor of Artforum
Condition
Structural framework remains stable and fully intact with solid joinery; the olive green velvet upholstery displays generalized pile shading, nap compression, light fabric relaxation, and localized fading to the cushion faces consistent with age and standard residential use, while the lower wood support base and tapered legs show small finish scuffs, light rub wear, and shallow surface scratches
