Sofas: Vintage Sofas, Chesterfield, Biedermeier and Mid-Century

A vintage sofa has something no new sofa has: a solid wood frame, a spring core, and a design that has stood the test of time. At Hauptstadt Möblerei, you'll find a changing selection of sofas from every era: the Chesterfield sofa in leather with button tufting, the Biedermeier sofa in cherry wood, the Danish three-seater sofa with a teak frame, the 1950s sofa with angled legs, and the Baroque sofa with a gilded frame. Plus chaise longues, recamier sofas, and seating groups. All restored in our Berlin workshop.

Sofas by style

• Chesterfield sofa: Leather, deep button tufting, rolled armrests. An English classic, available as a two- or three-seater.
• Mid-Century sofa: Danish and German sofas from the 1950s to the 1970s, with teak or walnut frames and wool or leather upholstery. See Mid-Century.
• Biedermeier and Gründerzeit sofa: Wooden frames in cherry, walnut, or mahogany, with curved backs. See antiques.
• Baroque and Louis XV sofa: Gilded frames, velvet, or brocade. See Baroque.
• Chaise longue and recamier: Daybeds with one backrest, from Biedermeier to Art Deco.

Used sofas: what we look for

With upholstered furniture, it's what you can't see that counts: the frame, webbing, and springs. We inspect the construction and clean the leather and fabric. Whether a sofa has its original upholstery or has been reupholstered is stated for every piece, along with photos from all sides, dimensions, and a condition description.

Frequently asked questions about sofas

Are old sofas comfortable?

Solid wood sofas with spring cores are often more comfortable than new foam sofas and last longer. You can try one out in the showroom.

Will the sofa fit through my door?

The dimensions are listed for every piece. The legs can be unscrewed on many old sofas, making them easier to transport.

Can a vintage sofa be reupholstered?

Yes, that's common and worthwhile for well-made frames.

Which armchair goes with the sofa?

It doesn't have to match. A leather armchair with a fabric sofa, or a cocktail chair with a simple three-seater, creates a livelier look than a complete set.
