Description

Mantellassi 1926 ‘Butterfly’ Sofa in Turquoise Velvet A glamorous and sculptural ‘Butterfly’ sofa by Mantellassi 1926, the celebrated Italian atelier known for its craftsmanship and bold, neoclassical revival designs. This striking piece features Mantellassi’s signature triple-panel back in a sweeping winged form, with deep button-tufting and dramatic scrolled arms. The hand-carved wooden frame is silver-leafed to highlight its fluid Art Deco-inspired lines and rests on polished silvered feet of organic design. Recently reupholstered in a rich turquoise velvet, the sofa combines comfort with a strong decorative presence. The generous proportions and luxurious fabric make it an ideal centrepiece for a living room, dressing room or grand entrance hall. Condition: Excellent overall. Upholstery new; minor surface wear to the silvered cresting consistent with age. Structurally sound and ready to place. Dimensions: Width: 300 cm Depth: 115 cm Height: 96 cm
