Fantastic Rare Art Deco French 3 piece Streamline Sofa Suite attributed to Adnet

Item #1774 - Added May 1, 2013

We are so excited to present this very unusual and rare 3 piece sofa suite. Of French origin, this is a project in the works for many years. We purchased this suite about 9 years ago and finally found the inspiration, time and money to restored this original modernist suite. This was approached with complete respect to the original design. The shape is something special and not something you probably will see again, at least on this web site. Please notice the shape, in the direction of the Frankll "Speed" chair, but that is where it ends. Instead of having those typical squared off arms, these more attractive, have a gentle curve, with a very unique stepped back (almost layered). I've never seen this treatment before. We wanted this suite to have a complete restoration, but we chose to go with leather (as the original).

The leather was hand chosen for this project. A very special tanning process with many steps but ultimately hand burnished to give that unique "antique" glazed look. It looks old, but has all the integrity of new materials outside and inside. The original bones are all there of course. It is so beautiful to see I just can't get over how great this looks.. You have to sit in it (so comfortable, guaranteed). The shape and pitch of the chairs just puts one in the right mood and ready to experience the day, the night, the life! For me, of course a "cocktail". Every now and then we get something so unique and the process of completion is a labour of love. This is one of those signature restorations for us. The size is also very nice. Not oversized, check the sizes below.
