    Hi, we're wanting to find out more about this sofa and 2 chair set (second chair not photographed but identical to the one in the photo) that has been handed down in the family.

    We've worked out it's at least from the 1950s, as my MIL can remember sleeping on it as a young child. But no-one can recall when it was purchased before then (and the great grandma who owned it has long passed away).

    Can you help identify the style of furniture and the age? It's a mystery to us!

    Think late 30s to 40s. Is fabric original?

    Hi, the fabric has been changed twice, the second time was in the 80s I believe.

    I did hear it had been a strong shade of maroon at some point!
    What style do you think you would you call it?

    Would think I would have to say art deco but not as sleek as much of the earlier deco furniture.

    Moderne is what I've seen used - late period Deco comfy. Good for small children running, and bouncing, around and off.
