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


Condition: Used
