I love this set. It a suite from Don Furniture probably 60's. I've had the chairs before but never the couch. It's one of their rarer designs and certainly the full set doesn't come along very often.
The frames were in surprisingly good condition with general marking to the coatings. Someone along the way had added a backing board to the couch so that had to be removed the back repaired. The joints are strong and the foam (which I think has been changed at some point) was in great condition. I decided in the end to leave them in their original vintage condition, they were just too good to strip back. They needed some new clothes and a bit of elbow grease to clean them up a nice wax finish and they should be good to go for another fifty years. They are almost ready... just the final touches to go.
