Button-Tufted Curved Sofa, Ann & Gordon Getty Collection, c.1920
This exceptional button-tufted curved five-seat sofa dates to circa 1920 and originates from the distinguished collection of Ann and Gordon Getty, noted patrons of art, design, and historic interiors. Generously scaled and elegantly contoured, the sofa exemplifies early 20th-century craftsmanship with a form designed to encourage conversation, intimacy, and architectural presence within a room.
The piece is upholstered in a richly layered composition of antique textiles, including velvets, silks, and embroidered fabrics, unified in a nuanced lilac and mauve palette. The surface is further animated by applied tassel detailing, lending movement and depth to the silhouette. Each textile contributes its own history and tactile character, resulting in a surface that is both visually complex and materially refined.
Complementing the sofa are three French silk throw pillows in mauve and metallic tones, which enhance the tonal harmony while introducing subtle luminosity. The button-tufted back and sweeping curvature reflect a period sensibility that bridges late Belle Époque elegance and early modern comfort, making the piece equally suited to historic interiors and thoughtfully layered contemporary spaces.
Sofas of this scale and craftsmanship, particularly those with documented Getty provenance, are exceedingly rare. This example stands not only as a functional furnishing but as a curated textile composition and sculptural object, embodying the connoisseurship and cultivated taste associated with one of the most respected collections in the world.
An extraordinary and singular offering, this sofa brings narrative depth, provenance, and visual drama to any refined interior.

We make every effort to make sure parcel shipments are packed securely. We strongly encourage our customers to purchase appropriate insurance at checkout. When the courier arrives we recommend opening the box and inspecting the merchandise in the presence of the driver before signing for it.
If your piece arrives by private carrier, we recommend that you carefully inspect the piece upon arrival. The driver will ask you to sign that you have approved and accepted the item. Once you have signed for the shipment, the insurance coverage is legally terminated. That’s why it is very important that you inspect your items. If something is damaged, we recommend reaching out to your carrier before signing.
