Product Details
Description
On offer on this occasion is an iconic “Charles CH230” 3-Seat Sofa with “CH150P” Bench Ottoman/Footstool from the “Maxalto” range of seating from the world renown Italian furniture house of B&B Italia.
As you will no doubt be aware by your interest in this Antonio Citterio masterpiece, B&B Italia pieces are the epitome of contemporary European furniture design, are of peerless quality, and exhibit detailing and execution of an unrivalled standard.
In a world of temporary pleasures, B&B Italia create beautiful furniture that remains a joy forever.
Dressed in a sumptuous, unashamedly-luxurious, deep-pile Italian-velvet in a striking raspberry-red. Whilst being as robust and hard-wearing as rhino skin, its softness and texture is simply divine to the touch. Supplied with complimenting back and scatter cushions.
Aside from possessing the bare-minimum of marks and signs-of-use to the cloth on the seat, arms and bench, and some very-light superficial-marks to the finish of the chrome legs, this pair is in superb, immaculately-maintained condition and is as-original and well-presented as any you could hope to find. Remarkably, it even retains its original paperwork, allen-key, and a quantity of spare-fabric to future-proof you against any future disasters!
Please view the images provided to confirm its fantastic condition and appearance. An effortlessly-elegant example of an icon of modern design.
Dimensions-wise, it offers generous accommodation through the sofa measuring 230cm wide, 100cm deep and 73cm high, with the bench ottoman measuring H-39cm, W150cm and D-50cm, and the breathtaking seating position this iconic modern-design creates is enhanced by the use of sumptuously comfortable, generously upholstered feather-filled back and composite seat cushioning, which leaves you powerless to resist its charms.
Costing in excess of £10,000 when new, it represents spectacular value for money, and we have no doubt it will serve and delight its new owner for many years to come.
Delivery of this piece to most UK mainland addresses will cost £180, and can be organised on behalf of the winning bidder upon request using one of our hand-picked panel of specialist, fully-insured independent furniture couriers.
Any questions, please message or call me.
Warm regards,
Daniel – Lord Browns Furniture

This superb piece possesses all the beauty and majesty of the finest contemporary furniture money can buy.
