I really dig this style of furniture, me and thousands of thousands of other people. While this piece isn't Midcentury by the strictest definition, it does fall under the umbrella. It was probably actually made in the 60s (maybe even early 70s). I can't seem to find any kind of maker mark, but it is definite quality construction (I have been told it is from a famous designer, but unsure of who . . .). It measures about 7' in length and is quite comfy. The material seems to be poly blend of some sort, but is soft. Note the unique "two piece" cushion construction, nice red wood (cherry, maybe?) end pieces, and the cool belt with buckle side strap. The upholstery at the bottom - under the seat cushions - has become separated, but should be a fairly easy fix.
I have her priced at $225. It's ready to use as is, but if someone were to put some money into re-upholstery, were talking about a $1000 piece, maybe more. Stop by and check her out: Junque - 226 W. 75th St. Kansas City, MO 64114. In the Waldo Antique Center on 75th St. at Wornall Rd. KCMO.
