Carved Sofa, Chair & Marble-Top Coffee Table Set

1. Description & Identification

  • Style: French Provincial or Rococo Revival
  • Components:
    • One carved three-seat tufted sofa
    • One matching carved armchair
    • One coffee table with ornately veined white/gray marble top and scrolled wooden base
  • Material: Carved wood frames (likely walnut or beech), upholstered in brocade or damask fabric; marble tabletop
  • Age: Estimated early to mid-20th century (circa 1930s–1960s)

2. Design Features

  • Woodwork: Hand-carved frames with floral, acanthus, and scroll motifs, particularly along crests and skirts
  • Upholstery: Original or early fabric with button tufting, likely silk-blend damask or brocade; now shows wear and soiling consistent with age
  • Tabletop: Slab-cut natural marble with irregular edge contour, typical of mid-century luxury coffee tables

3. Maker

  • While the set resembles pieces by Deutsch Brothers of New York—noted for elaborate European revival styles—no branding is visible in your photos. Deutsch Brothers furniture often included paper or metal labels under cushions or on the frame underside. You may want to inspect those areas to confirm attribution.

4. Condition

  • Sofa & Chair: Structurally sound with notable wear to the fabric (visible staining, possible fading); wood frames appear intact and finely detailed
  • Table: Marble top in very good condition, no visible cracks or chips; wood base well-carved, some minor wear likely at feet

5. Estimated Current Value

  • Retail (Antique/Decorative Market):
    • Sofa: $800–$1,200
    • Chair: $400–$600
    • Table: $500–$900
  • Auction or Private Sale: Approximately 60–70% of retail estimates depending on local demand
  • Restoration-Ready Value: If reupholstered professionally, the sofa and chair could together fetch $2,000–$2,500 or more as a designer set

6. Recommendations

  • Authentication: If you wish to confirm Deutsch Brothers origin, look for:
    • Labels or stamps (check inside seat deck, under frames)
    • Professional verification by a vintage furniture appraiser or antique dealer familiar with American revival-style furnishings
  • Conservation Advice: Fabric reupholstery would significantly enhance value. Maintain wood with gentle polish to preserve patina.
