Antiques Sofas

We offer a 1960s era sofa attributed to Hans Wegner for the Danish furniture company Getama. The fully upholstered sofa is cantilevered on square walnut legs braced with similar stretchers across the front, back and sides. A curved walnut trim frames the elevated base of the sofa. The sofa features a single boxed seat cushion with three boxed back cushions. The sofa measures 96″ in total length, 32″ in depth, and measures 27 in height to the back. The arm height is 22. The seat height is 17″ and the deck height is 12 1/2″. The seat cushion measures 89 in length. The sofa is covered in a dark green woven fabric. The sofa is in overall very good vintage condition with a minor pulled thread here or there and some minor sun fading to the base of the legs as seen in the photographs. The sofa comes from the estate of Caroline Dowell. Caroline Dowell was an Austin, Texas philanthropist and dog-lover. She cared for over fifty show and rescue dogs, favoring beagles. In 2008, her beagle, Uno, won the Westminster Kennel Club dog show marking the first time a beagle ever won Best of Show. Uno became the first Westminster winner to visit the White House, with George W. Bush and wife Laura meeting him in the Rose Garden. Uno rode on Snoopy’s float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and took part in first-pitch ceremonies at Busch Stadium and Miller Park. Uno also visited Walter Reed National Medical Center and hospitals across the country as a certified therapy dog before retiring on Caroline’s two hundred acre ranch.
