Title: Monumental Pair of Italian Postmodern ‘Butterfly’ Sofas by Mantellassi 1926
Description: Monumental Pair of Italian Postmodern ‘Butterfly’ Sofas by Mantellassi 1926

An exceptional and highly theatrical pair of monumental Italian ‘Butterfly’ sofas by Mantellassi 1926, embodying the bold glamour and sculptural luxury associated with late 20th century Italian design.

Of commanding scale and striking organic form, each sofa is designed with a dramatically shaped back incorporating a deeply buttoned central panel framed by sweeping wing-like sides and large scroll-form arms.
The sculptural silhouette is further enhanced by polished metal mounts and flowing swept feet, giving the pieces an unmistakably glamorous Italian presence.

Recently upholstered in a vivid turquoise velvet, the sofas make an extraordinary visual statement whilst remaining deeply comfortable and inviting.
Their impressive proportions and fluid design lend themselves particularly well to grand reception rooms, designer interiors, boutique hospitality settings or luxurious dressing spaces.

The pair present very well overall, with the upholstery clean and vibrant.
Minor age-related wear to the silver leaf and polished metal elements.
