VERY RARE EARLY MODEL WENTWORTH TOOTHILL Vtg Mid Century 50s 60s Sofa Bed Yellow
July 23, 2018
This is the extremely rare earlier edition of the Toothill’Wentworth sofa with copper legs instead of the usual teak legs found on the later edition. A stunning sofa which we have replaced the cushions, reupholstered and webbed with Pirelli webbing. Constructed from solid afromosia and walnut with copper piping, a walnut veneered backrest and beautiful copper legs. A great feature of the design are two built in solid walnut sidetables, supported by copper fixtures at either side of the seat cushion which slide in and out to transform into a sofa bed. Condition – the sliding mechanism on one sidetable does not move as freely as on the other which is probably down to lack of use and may loosen again over time. One table top also has a small scratch with a slight dent which has been photographed. The backrest does show some signs of wear to the edges, some surface scratches, one is more significant and has been photographed. There is a line/mark on the wood where the metal frame supports on each side of the backrest. Please note that although the sofa overall is in great condition and has had a polish and been reupholstered it does show signs of wear and tear as to be expected of a sofa approx 50 years old.
