Mid Century Ernest Race Sheppey Two Seater Sofa c1960 Chairs Available
Originally purchased directly alongside two matching armchairs from an architect, who in turn purchased them directly from Race Furniture. The Sheppey range was the winner of the Design Centre Award 1963. One sits at the V&A museum – not a bad pedigree!
The clean cut angled Ash frame sits on a stove enamelled steel frame with some lovely slender alloy inlaid detailing to both ends of the arms.
Workshop report – The Ash frame has been carefully hand cleaned and polished to ensure the grain is highlighted but historic wear not lost – expect sensible wear with a gentle shine. The frame is strong with no repairs or breaks. New Pirelli webbing has replaced the old worn webbing with the seats and back are enjoying a full reupholstery in a gorgeous mid denim blue 100% wool fabric from Bute Fabrics, which pays homage to the original fabric which was very badly worn and not serviceable. We do have marks and wear to the steel frames but nothing nasty or missing
We do have a matching pair of matching armchairs if you desire a set.
A super 1960s sofa from Ernest Race.
Dimensions - Overall: Height 85cm x Width 117.5cm x Depth 81cm
Dimensions - Specifically the Seat: Height 35-28cm (Front-Rear) x Width 111cm x Depth 53cm
