    We have a family inherited Duncan Phyfe sofa remake. We need help determining when it was made and who made it. Here are some photos of the sofa.

    It has foam in the seat cushions.

    1970's or so? Looks mid-late 20th century to me. Label is usually visible when you pull up the middle seat cushion, but I assume you don't see one there or underneath? If not don't think you'll figure who made it since the style was kind of generic. Pictures underneath showing legs and upholstery innards may help date it a little more exactly.

    Hi,
    Back in 1970 I went to Good Will and purchased an old beat up Duncan Phyfe sofa.
    It cost 23 dollars had it recovered got rid of the old horsehair stuffing and numerous springs. Covered it in dark gray silk. Had two side pillows made. The recovering cost me 250 dollars. Sold it in 1989 for 3 thousand. The silk had faded to a pale gray by then. Check the feet the older ones were brass, the newer ones were brass plated.

    Think probably 40s-50s but reupholstered at some point. Probably impossible to find who made it without a label.
