On the wood under the cushions there is a hand written date of 9/2/44. We believe this could be one of the first iterations of this bench made just prior to his company being made. Harvey Probber Inc was officially established the following year in 1945.

There is no furniture tag.

Refinished in an ebonized finish. Looks solid from a distance but as you get close you can see the perfect amount of wood grain peak through.

Reupholstered in a high quality champagne velvet blend fabric.

Bench is extremely high quality with solid oak plinth base and sides. Each cushion fits snuggly in position with solid oak spacers separating them.

Bench is 70.5” long 24” deep and 17.5” tall.

Exceptional example of design by one of the greats of the era. Quality is on par with designers such as T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings, Edward Wormley, and Paul McCobb See less
