Item Details

Classic Ole Wanscher Danish leather sofa 1940’s/50’s in vintage condition

We’ve seen this beautiful sofa described as being made by A.J.Iversen and also Poul Jeppesen but mostly the former . Both are known for their quality cabinet making . Ole Wanscher was one of the pioneering Danish designers and he’s known for his simple classic detailing as found in this sofa. It’s difficult to date this model as it would have been made from the late 1940’s and well into the 1950’s. The mahogany frame and proper springing and upholstery techniques would indicate a pre 1960 date.

Condition
It’s still in it’s original leather which as you’ll see is well used but has a wonderful patina if you don’t mind the tears and repairs! There was no leather to the back when we got it so our upholsterer has put a simple hessian on the back which suits the well worn look. She’s also stabilised and tidied up all the tears. It can be re-upholstered but to re-do it in leather will be expensive. It has it’s original feather filled cushions with brass air vents and is extremely comfortable.

Our in-house restorer has cleaned the legs and base and re-polished them.
