Club-Sofa Studio Globe Wernicke, 1930's - 1940's, art deco

A two-seater settee / sofa designed in the Art Deco style. It features a distinctive curved 'tub' or 'barrel' back that flows seamlessly into the arms, constructed from a richly colored, high-gloss wood veneer, likely mahogany. The piece is upholstered in black material, original leather and rests on solid, sled-style feet. The design is characteristic of the streamlined and geometric forms popular in the 1930s-40s. HISTORICAL STORY This settee was produced by 'Studio Globe Wernicke, ' a line that represented the company's engagement with European modern design movements. While the parent company, Globe Wernicke, was American and famous for modular bookcases, its European branches, particularly in the Netherlands, produced furniture in the popular Art Deco style. This piece would have been a high-end, fashionable item for a modern home or stylish office in the pre-WWII or early post-war era. Condition. The piece is in project condition. The upholstery is worn, cracked, and flaking, requiring replacement. The wood frame has some scuffs, dings, and finish loss. The project condition is not a must because this beautifull art piece is not broken and can be used in the condition as it is. This piece of style is a combination of wood and leather and brass feet and branded with a stamp mark and production country label.
