Rare Restored "1940s Transition" Rattan Sofa and Lounge Chair Living Room Set

This beautifully restored Paul Frankl-inspired Full "1940s Transition" rattan living room set features a three-seat sofa, two matching lounge chairs, and a stacked coffee table. This unique set features a sofa and lounge chair with the "1940s Transition" three-stranded arm style.

This arm style flows sinuously into the rounded back of the sofa and chairs. The coffee table features a stacked rattan base with cutouts and a mahogany top. Also available, a coordinating rare Mid-century rattan and mahogany dining room set. 

The Piece has been meticulously refinished to preserve the natural honey-color patina. Perfect for creating a warm, elevated tropical-inspired living space. In the style of Paul T. Frankl.

Every piece we offer is carefully restored by experts—structurally tightened, rewrapped where needed, and finished with a long-lasting protective coat. With nearly 100 years of combined rattan knowledge, we ensure each item is both visually stunning and built for decades of continued enjoyment.

We can make new Cushions . (The cushions shown may be available—please ask.) COM is welcome; simply send your fabric and our upholsterer will create fresh, perfectly fitted cushions. Production time is approximately two weeks.

Our high-resolution photos accurately show the flawless workmanship and timeless coastal character of each restored rattan piece. Vintage rattan is known for lasting 60–100 years, and our refinishing process prepares it to last another 75.
