A fabulous sofa from the limited production Block Island collection designed by John Hutton (1947-2006) for Donghia, circa 1995.

Stout mahogany frame construction veneered in block patterned Rush style wicker. Stained mahogany accents. Aged to perfection. Exceptional quality and craftsmanship – built like a battleship. Exquisite jewelry! Excellent Restored Condition. The sofa has been professionally cleaned and re-lacquered. All wicker veneer is intact and complete. The arm height is 23 inches. Seat height noted assumes a standard box cushion. There is a matching pair of club chairs available in a separate listing. Retains the Maker mark. Expert custom upholstery service is available.
