This extraordinary 1960s French Provincial sofa is a rare, custom-built piece by Deutsche Bros. of Chicago, an esteemed boutique upholstery house known for its meticulous craftsmanship and ornate hand-carving. Commissioned as a one-of-a-kind set (matching chair also available) and preserved under protective plastic for decades, the sofa remains remarkably close to its original condition — a true time capsule of mid-century American luxury furniture.
Note: A coordinating armchair is also available under a separate listing. Chairish can arrange combined white-glove shipping for buyers purchasing the pair.
The frame is carved from solid wood and features exceptionally detailed floral and avian motifs — delicate blossoms, scrolling foliage, and graceful birds perched among leaves. These carvings are not just decorative; they showcase the high level of skill associated with Hollywood Regency–era French revival design.
The original ivory-and-gold brocade upholstery is intact, with its shimmering jacquard pattern and deep diamond tufting giving the piece a regal, tailored presence. The elegant serpentine back, gently flared arms, and carved cabriole legs create a dramatic silhouette that feels both opulent and inviting.
There are three cushions, comfortably seats four.
This sofa is ideal for:
• Interior designers seeking a statement anchor piece
• Boutique hotels, salons, and creative studios
• Collectors of high-quality vintage furniture
• Homeowners looking for a glamorous French-inspired focal point
A beautifully preserved example of mid-century craftsmanship, this piece blends ornate romance with Hollywood Regency glamour — a rare opportunity for anyone seeking true character and history in their furnishings.

It … moreThis sofa is in very good vintage condition, especially for an early 1960s piece with its original upholstery intact. It was kept under protective plastic by the original owners since the 60s, which has preserved the brocade’s sheen and the crispness of the tufting. The frame is sturdy and the carved detailing remains sharp and beautifully defined. As expected with a 60-year-old piece, there are a few honest signs of age. • Light discoloration on cushions. • A small, very faint mark on the underside of one seat cushion (pictured). • A minor chip and a few scuffs to one carved leg/apron area (also pictured). These do not detract from the overall presentation and are typical of vintage wood furniture. The upholstery has not been professionally cleaned; it has been left in its untreated original state, which many collectors prefer. Buyers who wish may choose to have the fabric lightly refreshed by a vintage upholstery specialist, but it is not required. Overall, this piece presents beautifully — elegant, well preserved, structurally sound, and wonderfully detailed. less
