Ficks Reed…. and FABULOUS!!!! This is a WONDERFUL vintage sofa by John Wisner for Ficks Reed. Comprised of stout rattan with a gorgeous woven raffia back. It retains its original Ficks Reed tag and its warm and lovely finish which has aged to perfection. This sofa is from Ficks Reed’s Far Horizon collection by John Wisner which was introduced in 1954. It is designed with sturdy crossbars under the seat, arm stretchers, and the front of the sofa features double rattan bars. The rattan arm bars are held with rattan ties that extend from the front and back legs and wrap around the arm. A Super cool feature! And both ends of the arms are capped with brass tips which have a purposeful patina. Rattan ties cover the top back seat corners and front corners of the seat base, and it looks FABULOUS! It features three loose back and 3 loose seat cushions wearing a lovely floral fabric with coral blossoms and green & beige stems and leaves. It’s gorgeous PLUS, it’s very comfortable… in part due to the S-springs that make up the deck which has been covered with a new white canvas decking.
