On offer on this occasion is an iconic “185 Toot” U or L-Shape Sectional Sofa (consisting of a 185.23 3-Seat Section, a 185 41L 2-seat chaise section and a 185.51 2-Seat section) from the world renown Italian furniture house of Cassina.
As you will no doubt be aware by your interest in this Piero Lissoni masterpiece, Cassina pieces are the epitome of contemporary European furniture design, are of peerless quality, and exhibit detailing and execution of an unrivalled standard.
In a world of temporary pleasures, Cassina create beautiful furniture that remains a joy forever.
Undeniably elegant, and endlessly flexible as, as the images provided will confirm, this collection is capable of creating a number of configurations including 2 different U-shapes, an L-Shape with 2 different Footstool positions and retains the option of the 3 sections being used separately too. The most talented and capable of all-rounders!
Dressed in the most stunning and tactile woven Cashmere & Wool mix fabric option in a natural, neutral pale-cream hue. Whilst being as robust and hard-wearing as rhino skin, its softness and texture is simply divine to the touch. Softer than an infants earlobe.
This piece is in superb, immaculately-maintained condition, having seen light, irregular use in the past. Its handsome order reflects the TLC and considerate use afforded it at its previous home and, considering the colour, aside from one-or-two minor, light, insignificant marks (only visible upon the very closest of inspections) is as well-presented as you could possibly hope to find.
As the images provided will attest, these issues prove to be of modest overall significance and, rather than being mentioned because they detract hugely from the beauty of the piece, are mentioned purely for the purposes of accuracy.
Please view the images provided to confirm its fantastic condition and appearance. As beautifully-conditioned, original example of this Lissoni creation as you could hope to acquire.
In its current condition, it would comfortably meet the requirements of the most particular and, for someone looking for a piece of high-design to position at the heart of family life, it is truly heaven sent! This superb piece possesses all the beauty and majesty of the finest contemporary furniture money can buy.
Dimensions-wise, it is a bit of a whopper. When configured as a U-Shape, it measures 265cm across the back of the shorter, right-hand section (with the backrest against the wall) and 310cm down the length of the longer left-hand Chaise section, and stands 68cm high. As an L-Shape, it measures 265cm along the longer, right-hand section (with the back rest against the wall again) and 230cm along the sorter chaise-section, with the accompanying 2-seat sofa measuring 140cm wide by 85cm deep.
Due to the sectional nature of this piece, rest assured that it dismantles easily into its 3 component sections, so is able to be transported, installed and rebuilt without issue.
The breathtaking seating position this iconic modern-design creates is enhanced by the use of sumptuously comfortable, generously upholstered fibre-filled back and composite seat cushioning, which leaves you powerless to resist its charms.
Costing in excess of £22,000 when new, it represents spectacular value for money, and we have no doubt it will serve and delight its new owner for many years to come.
Delivery of this piece to most UK mainland addresses will cost £180, and can be organised on behalf of the winning bidder upon request using one of our hand-picked panel of specialist, fully-insured independent furniture couriers.

Credit card (as above) through our secure merchant facilities.
Paypal have expressed a strong preference that we process our high-value transactions through our own merchant facilities rather than using their payment service so, whilst we are happy to accept Paypal payments of less than £500, any buyer making a purchase in excess of £500 must agree to make that payment using one of the methods stated above.
SHIPPING
Careful, considerate shipping isn't expensive, its priceless.
UK Buyers are welcome to collect their purchase personally from our storage facility in Lancashire's beautiful Ribble Valley (BB7) or to send their courier/representative to do so on their behalf.
However, upon request, we are happy to organise shipping any piece to any UK or International address on behalf of the buyer, with all associated shipping costs to be borne by the buyer.
We do all we can to secure the best deal possible deal for our buyers, but please be aware that shipping costs are set by our couriers, not us.
Standard delivery costs are £120 for a Sofa, and £90 for an Armchair for delivery to the vast majority of UK mainland addresses. For obvious reasons, deliveries to the extremities of this sceptred isles (Cornwall and the Scottish Highlands, for example) attract a 30% surcharge. If in doubt, please contact us for clarification.
We ship all pieces using trusted, fully-insured, independant couriers, who have long-standing reputations for great customer service, and with whom we personally have successfully shipped hundreds of high-value pieces. They may not be the cheapest but, in our experience, they might possibly be the best. We recommend them to you without hesitation.
All shipping costs secure a one-man delivery service. That being the case, the buyer must agree to provide any assistance the courier might need to unload/install any piece at the delivery address. To secure the services of a 2-man team, which can also be organised if essential, please double the standard shipping charge relevant to your purchase.
International buyers are responsible for any customs and duties etc. imposed by the buyer's local customs authorities at the point of arrival of their delivery in that country, in addition to any shipping costs paid at the time of purchase.
RETURNS
We want you to be able to buy in confidence from Lord Browns Furniture, which is why our returns policy is deliberately simple and generous.
In the unlikely event that you should not be absolutely delighted with your purchase for any reason, please get in touch at your earliest convenience within 7 days of delivery, and we will organise for the piece to be returned for a full refund of the purchase price and delivery costs.
In the event of a return, the buyer is responsible for the cost of shipping the piece back to the Ribble Valley and, understandably, any refund will only be issued once the piece is received back at our Storage Facility. Obviously, we insist that all pieces are returned in the same condition in which they were originally sold.
CLEANING
Invariably, the pieces we offer for sale are the best of the best available, presented in superb, beautifully-maintained condition, with their overall condition accurately and transparently described through . That said, please be aware that the vast majority of pieces we offer for sale are pre-owned, and may possess qualities consistent with that fact.
However, should you wish for your purchase to arrive with you in the best condition possible, we are happy to organise for any piece to benefit from a full professional clean, administered by our local Master Upholsterer.
At Lord Browns, we have found the best angle from which to approach issues of this type is the try-angle.
Results post-treatment vary widely, depending on the characteristics of the fabric and the nature of the areas of compromise and, whilst results cannot be guaranteed ( certainly, perfection is an unrealistic expectation), the improvement in the look, feel and odour post-treatment gives the modest investment required (£75 for a sofa, and £35 for an armchair) the appearance of a bargain, and is money well-spent. We recommend this course of action to all buyers without hesitation.
