Listed for sale is an exceptionally rare and early Jens Risom Sofa, model number 23, produced by Knoll and labelled H.G. Knoll Products. This particular examples dates to circa 1949. The model itself was designed in 1946 and made during the earliest production period, as the labels transitioned to Knoll Associates labels during the beginning of the 1950s. This sofa came from a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania estate and was just freshly reupholstered in a Knoll Textiles off-white boucle fabric (slightly different in pattern than their classic boucle). The sofa has an ebonized finish, which can be touched up and/or restored if desired. The sofa is in terrific condition. As noted in the photos, there are a couple of light soiling marks on the back of the piece from moving it to our warehouse from the upholstery shop. We can have an upholstery cleaner come in to clean that area prior to shipping at the new buyer's request as well.
The piece measures 73 inches wide by 30.5 inches deep and 30.5 inches tall.
The buyer may pick up the furniture, have it shipped by our shipping partners (buyer will pay for full shipping cost, though will not have to arrange it), or discuss potential delivery within reason following the end of the auction. The listed shipping cost is an estimate, though we can likely stay below that number for most areas of the country. If you win the item, we can discuss shipping options, prices, etc. and we will make sure that it is as inexpensive for you as possible. We work with a shipper locally who takes great care in their work and has been complemented often on their packing and shipping quality.
