Sotheby's New York, September 21, 2011, lot 23
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Overall very good condition. The sofa comprising a painted metal frame, a white painted understructure and four cushion elements. Each cushion element affixed with later screws. Likely reupholstered in a manner consistent with the original design. Upholstery showing gentle use, with very light soiling and light fading to the reverse of the cushions from sun exposure. The white wooden understructure appears repainted and with minor nicks, dings and losses consistent with age and use. The wooden stretcher to the reverse of the sofa is not painted, and therefore the sofa is intended to be used against a wall. A rare design by Dumond with great size and scale.
