Description
Custom built Low profile, High Back dark and muscular, vintage 1970s sofa is as cool as they come. With soft, supple black leather cushions, contoured to sit on the rosewood frame and fit the body, it doesn’t sacrifice comfort for good looks. The tilt, the generous seat depth, the plump upholstery make this an enviably loungy, inviting couch. Bought at Harrods in 1974 my parents wanted a high backed version of the show room sofa, and so it was custom made at we believe either Scandinavian or possibly Italian from the factory of Tobia Scarpa or Swedish Gote Mobler Massjo. They asked for a custom made high back at the time, different from the low backed show room example and we think is the reason they didn't put on the label. We love the on-show wooden frame, crafted in rosewood. A very fine, quality sofa, expertly designed, ready to serve a busy household. Leather is a superb option for high traffic living spaces – it’s very robust, easy to clean and able to withstand the rigours of kids, pets and more!

Condition report:
This original, vintage sofa is ‘sold as seen’. It is in very good, used condition. We have checked and cleaned the sofa, applying a natural beeswax polish to the on-show wooden frame and a natural, nourishing conditioner to the leather upholstery. There are eight separate, contoured cushions, all in very good order with plump inners, and working zips. These cushions simply sit on the frame. One or two of the seat cushions are a little worn on top, as shown, but this is minimal. The upholstered arms are loose and are also in very good order. The fixed leather upholstery on the frame is in very good order too. Overall, there are just minor signs of wear to the leather, surface wrinkling as you would expect and very much part of its appeal. Likewise, the wooden frame carries just very minor, superficial scuffs and marks – again, browse our photos for an accurate sense of this. The sofa is really well-made, solid and stable with no repairs or concerns. There is no maker’s mark but looks like it was imported from directly from Sweden or Italy and our research tells us it is made by and dates from the early 1970s. Do browse our photos for an accurate sense of its superb condition. If you’d like to view the sofa or have any queries, just get in touch.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
