The couch is professionally restored and sealed with a high-gloss piano lacquer. It was also re-upholstered and covered professionally with quality fabric. So it is in perfect restored condition. It features the mark 'Majorelle Nancy' on the back.

Majorelle's factory in Nancy was burned down in 1916 and lost all evidence of his work before the First World War. His designs for the re-opened factory after World War II conformed to the Art Deco style. This present daybed is completely different from the floral designs of the Art Deco era. Instead easier moving forms can be found here. Highly polished rods in solid aluminum act as door handles. The sitting and lying surfaces consist of box-shaped lower part and provide support. The back part consists of three individual box-shaped cushions, which are detachable. There are pads on both sides, so that they can be turned if necessary. All edges of the pad are also provided with handmade piping. The daybed is designed to be placed against a wall, and is not freely adjustable.
