Heywood Wakefield Rattan Seating Group






This vintage Heywood Wakefield set consists of  three modular upholstered rattan pieces and a rock maple and rattan chest of drawers.  There are quite a few options for arranging the grouping.  We think it looks best as a two-seater sofa and chair with the chest on its own.  It could also work as a pair of chairs flanking the chest and the third chair on its own, or as a three-seater sofa and chest on its own.  The custom made cushions with new foam are upholstered in a very smart black and tan striped heavy weight cotton fabric.  While the set has a nice casual warm weather vibe, we chose upholstery that feels very four seasons.  Imagine it in a cottage in front of a roaring fire with a couple of great throws and some toss cushions.  Very cozy!  (* Upholstery notes: All cushions are zippered, seat cushions are reversible, back cushions snap.  Appx. 1 additional yd. of fabric with set) Chest, 36" l., 17" w., 32" h.  Arm Chairs, 24" l., 29" w., 33" h.  Armless, 22" l., 29" w., 33" h.  American, c. 1950's  SOLD
