1940-1950’s Traditional Green Naugahyde Faux Leather Lawson Club Style Sofa

About the Item

Handsome vintage Traditional green Naugahyde faux leather Lawson style club or library sofa with rolled arms by Vargas Fine Furniture. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, a small tear in Naugahyde on left side by back leg & some snags or nicks on the lower front apron that have been repaired by our knowledgeable staff. The finish on the feet has been freshened. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1940-1950’s. Prepare yourself for a LOT of jealous friends and family as they are sure to be GREEN with ENVY over your new vintage sofa!!! That’s right, this is a captivating green Naugahyde faux leather Lawson style club or library sofa by Vargas Furniture. What a SCORE!!!! Although some of you may not be familiar with Vargas Fine Furniture, as a former Topeka, Kansas resident I am here to tell you that they only sold the BEST of the BEST of the BEST furnishings with elite designers on staff and could order to the trade. Their inventory consisted of only VERY high end, quality merchandise until they closed their doors in the 1990’s. This sofa is indicative of their products featuring classic coil springs and marvelous green Naugahyde faux leather fabric trimmed with lovely antiqued brass nail head details on the wonderful rolled arm fronts and back sides. It stands beautifully upon three dark walnut stained round decorative front feet and two dark walnut stained narrow but wide square back feet. It has a tight back and three loose square seat cushions we believe to be foam filled. This sofa would be the perfect seating in an office, home library, or flanking the fireplace in the study. And although it is Traditional in style, we think it will blend in beautifully among many other décor styles. It’s gorgeous, green, and oh-so-comfy in between!! You simply MUST have this incredible Vargas sofa… Just make it YOURS!!!!

Mid-Century Modern Black Faux Leather Love Seat Sofa by Taylor Chair Co. Style D
By Harvey Probber, Dunbar Furniture, Taylor Chair co., Edward Wormley
Located in Topeka, KS
Handsome Mid-Century Modern love seat length sofa in black vinyl faux leather upholstery and walnut base in the style of Wormley for Dunbar or Harvey Probber. It is in wonderful vintage condition. We believe the black vinyl to be fairly new. The walnut base does have age appropriate little nicks and dings. Please see photos, circa 1960s. It is hard to say who designed and produced this fabulously gorgeous and simple streamline Mid-Century Modern style sofa first. Was is Edward Wormley for Dunbar? Was it Harvey Probber or Florence Knoll? Or, did Taylor Chair Company, the maker of this particular love seat, actually make their rendition first? Does it matter? You will love the lines and materials used in this two-seat love seat Lawson shape sofa with a tight back and two loose seat cushions. It is covered in a very nice and natural looking black faux leather vinyl. So close to the real thing its is hard to tell the difference. And sets on a walnut Parsons’ style base. Simple but very handsome. Taylor Chair Company was founded by Benjamin Fitch in 1816 Bedford, Ohio. He originally made split-bottom chairs in his cabin. In 1841 one of Mr. Fitch’s employees, William O. Taylor, married Mr. Fitch’s daughter. William quickly took over active management of the company and by late 1940s the company became known as W.O. Taylor Factory. After a fire in the original location the factory moved. In 1871 W.O. Taylor’s son, Vincent A. Taylor, took the helm and the name was changed to W.O. Taylor and Son as they became an award-winning company. In 1885 the company incorporated becoming a public company known as The Taylor Chair...
