John Widdicomb Sofa




Winter off-white!  This super stylish MCM sofa by John Widdicomb is long, luxurious and in almost mint vintage condition with its original upholstery.  It has a single, tufted seat cushion and three back and two arm cushions.  The sofa has been attributed to Robsjohn Gibbings and as you can see, it looks great with the Gibbings coffee table.  However, I have not found any documentation stating that he was the designer and the original label does not mention Gibbings.  The attached link shows the sofa reupholstered in another fabric, but in need of reupholstering again.  https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/seating/sofas/john-widdicomb-sofa-upholstered-striped-sunbrella-fabric/id-f_670684/ The original cream upholstery suits this exceptional sofa perfectly and it has been newly, professionally cleaned.  American, c. 1960's  96.5" l., 36.5" d., 27" h.  SOLD
