$5,395.00

Limit 2 per order

A Dunbar tuxedo sofa with the original manufacturer's label intact, documented, dated, and fully restored.

Dunbar Furniture of Berne, Indiana was one of the most respected American furniture manufacturers of the mid-century period, producing work primarily under the creative direction of Edward Wormley. The tuxedo sofa format was Wormley's signature form for Dunbar, and this example, model TU/S Kind 160/61, is consistent with his design language: a low, clean-lined silhouette with equal arm and back heights, a continuous horizontal profile, and chrome legs that carry the whole composition with a light touch.

The proportions are exactly right, generous enough to be comfortable, restrained enough to hold a room without dominating it.

This example has been fully restored. The upholstery is new black bouclé, a considered choice that works with the chrome legs and gives the piece a current quality without erasing what makes it historically significant. The chrome has been polished and the rubber feet are new. It is ready to live in a home today.

I have two of these sofas available. They can be purchased individually or as a pair.

Vintage Satellite Round Lounge Chair Attributed to Milo Baughman

$3,995.00

A large round lounge chair in the Satellite form that Milo Baughman designed for Thayer Coggin. The circular back wraps around a deep, round button-tufted seat cushion, and the chair rolls on brass casters.

It’s roomy enough to curl up in, or to share. It has been reupholstered in dark green velvet that reads nearly black in low light and shows its green in daylight.

Vintage Walnut Dining Table

$1,495.00

A walnut table with a slightly bowed top and strongly tapered legs. The legs curve in toward the floor and give the table a light stance.

We’ve restored it, sanding the walnut back and refinishing it, and the grain is rich and even. The top is made in two sections that meet at a center seam, and it does not extend.

Vintage 1970s Floral Three-Seat Sofa

$2,395.00

A three-seat sofa in its original 1970s floral upholstery. The print runs in orange, rust, cream, gold and olive over a trellis pattern. The back is a tall channel-tufted panel with softly flared wings, and the arms curve outward. The seat cushions are new, in a deep brown fabric with piping, which grounds all the pattern.

The sofa stands on dark tapered wood legs.

Vintage Matte Pale Blue Glass Vase

$95.00

A rounded glass vase with a matte, satin finish in soft blue with a gray-green cast. It has broad shoulders, a gently tapering base and a flared neck with a small lip. The surface is non-reflective. There are scuffs and light scratches on the body and a thin line near the neck, all visible in the photos.

Vintage Hand Blown Glass Fan Vase

$125.00

A hand-blown glass vase in a wide fan or flared shape. The glass is clear with a faint aqua tint and has tiny seed bubbles throughout, which are typical of hand-blown glass. The bowl narrows to a short round knop and a flared circular foot, and the top edge is rolled. It stands steadily on the foot.

Vintage Frosted Aqua Glass Vase

$115.00

A frosted pale aqua vase in an amphora-like shape, with a flared lip and a body that tapers toward the base. Two hand-applied horizontal bands wrap the body, and a row of applied round discs sits between them. The surface is matte and textured in the Scavo manner.

Fine pale yellow streaks run through the lower body.
