LOS ANGELES – On April 24, Cain Modern Auctions will host its spring sale of furniture, art, decor, and lighting. The lineup of more than 600 lots will include several pieces by well-known and sought-after mid-century designers. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.

Standout lots include a circa 1970s chrome curved sectional sofa designed by Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin. The visually striking three-piece serpentine sofa sits on a sleek brass base and is all-original, down to the fabric and the brass. The Baughman sofa measures 156 inches wide by 115 inches deep by 32 1/2 inches high, with a seat height of 16 1/2 inches. It carries an estimate of $15,000-$20,000.

Other furniture lots include a pair of undated club chairs on walnut plinths by Harvey Probber. The furnishings were designed and manufacture in the United States and measure 33.5 inches wide, 32 inches deep, and 26 inches high to the top of the frame (if you count from the back pillow, the chairs stand five inches higher). The Harvey Probber club chairs are estimated at $3,500-$4,500.
