AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Sell Poltrona Frau chair, made in Tolentino (Italy), 3-seat Chester sofa, in leather, color red wine Bordeaux (SC 97), produced mid-1990s, in excellent condition.

"The Chester nods to the classic model of Edwardian England, revived by Renzo Frau in the first catalog of 1912, inspired by the sofas and chairs that populated in those years the clubs and English country houses. Since then an icon of the Poltrona Frau brand, Chester stands out for the pleated armrests that nobly close the rich capitonné upholstery, entirely handmade.
The Chester has a suspension obtained with bi-conical steel springs, manually positioned and fixed to jute straps on a strutted frame in seasoned beech.
The seat padding is made of elastic horsehair, while the backrest and arms are in molded vegetable horsehair by hand. The seat cushions are filled with goose down. The feet can be spherical or tall, in a beech-stain finish."

Renzo Frau founded Poltrona Frau in Turin in 1912, quickly becoming a status symbol, collaborating over time with the most important contemporary designers: Gae Aulenti, Achille and Piergiacomo Castiglioni, Pierluigi Cerri, Michele De Lucchi, Rodolfo Dordoni, Roberto Lazzeroni, Enzo Mari, Peter Marino, Jean-Marie Massaud, Paola Navone, Jean Nouvel, Pininfarina, Gio Ponti, Ferdinand A. Porsche, Andrée Putman, Gastone Rinaldi, Claudio Silvestrin, Lella and Massimo Vignelli, Marco Zanuso and many others.

Chester by Poltrona Frau is the ideal pairing with Knoll, Vitra, Cassina, and B&B furniture.

The Poltrona Frau Chester 3-seat sofa is currently in production/catalog with new price starting from 18,500 euros:

I am selling only to European Union countries, and I am NOT able to deliver in ZTL zones, or on islands: for safer transport the chair will be delivered on a pallet (EPAL); it is ESSENTIAL that the shipping address allows access for the truck/trailer.
