This is an all original, 1950s, 6 strand pretzel steam bent rattan living room or patio set designed by Paul Frankl. Original foil furniture labels are present but no longer legible. This set comes from the estate of the original owners. They have been extremely well cared for and have never been outside. Original cotton and coiled-steel spring cushions are in wonderful condition and still sit well. Unlike foam cushions, they will not sag or collapse or emit dust particles over time. To have cushions like this made today would be incredibly expensive. They truly dont make them like they used to. Joinery is still excellent. It can be easily restored to near showroom original condition or enjoyed and loved as it is. This set is original and unrestored. As with all vintage furniture, there will be some scuffs, some surface wear, some drying finish. Binding material is in very good condition for its vintage, as shown in photographs. On many sets this had completely fallen off. (They are cosmetic only, the pieces are structurally sound even without them). This set carries no odors that I could detect. It was kept in a room with no direct sun exposure for the last 60 years, which helps explain its condition. Overall condition is good to very good vintage condition. The couch is a wonderful sectional-style that can be arranged in any format you choose, or put together as one unit. Put together in one continuous piece, it measures 100.5 inches in length. Arm chairs measure 33 inches in width. Square table is 30 inches across. Set includes four-piece sectional sofa, one square table with removable tiered top corner piece, two full arm lounge chairs, and both original ottomans. All is extremely strong and sound. I have shown multiple sofa configurations in the photo gallery. Please take a moment to read my feedback. I will happily arrange for transport via USHIP online. I have booked shippers in as little as 3 days and in as long as 3 or 4 weeks. You are welcome to also arrange for the shipper of your choice, and I can meet with them at any time to help them load and secure the set, which I will wrap carefully for transport.
