Living Room Seating
Our commitment to offering a wide selection means our inventory extends far beyond what we can display online. To ensure the best possible experience, we only photograph & share inventory & restoration work highlights to give you a taste of what we offer until an in-person visit can be arranged.
We sell most pieces in their *original vintage condition*, meaning some may require wood restoration and/or replacement cushions or covers depending entirely on the buyer's vision. If you are able to restore the pieces yourself or have another restorer than ourselves in mind, the as-is price stands.
We can also refer you to an upholsterer for new cushions and covers.
