sofa ID /soliciting advice on new legs...  

Legs similar to a a Wegner?

That's wild how they didn't even try to convay same design language into the back legs
They must have been, eureka! Square blocks!
I'll draw something up tomorrow and post it and maybe you will like it? But they sofa is badass looking everywhere else

Thanks for the comments Leif and difeliciantonio...I know the back is an atrocity and I simply cannot put the hallingdal on it and perpetuate this incredibly poor decision....however...the guy i got it from says it came to him that way...I am guessing that the back legs were too delicate and 'failed' and so someone put these blocks on as a sturdy lame solution.  
The weird thing is there are no clues underneath...I was inspecting thinking I could see some old holes or brackets or something but nada....maybe there was just three kind of tenuous peg legs with hardware beneath the stumps that failed when the sofa was slid or something?
I agree, this is a piece worth saving...its better than it looks in the garage pics...difeliciantonio I would be very grateful and interested in what you would propose...I have followed your posts and projects with considerable interest !   
I hope I have chosen fabric (the blue hallingdal) that can lend itself to the handsewing and curved skeleton...it has a sort of hopsack on it now....
thanks for looking and  for your time

Hallingdal is easy to hand stitch.  If you're not familiar with doing a ladder stitch, look for demo videos on youtube.  It's relatively easy to do and your sofa has crisp lines that make it a breeze to know where to put the seams.
I think that the original back legs were probably at the corners of the sofa.  The front legs are at the front corners and it looks really odd for the back legs to be inset that much.  I would guess that there were tapered legs, if not the kind of base that's across the front.  
Whoever stuck those replacements on there probably inset them a lot so that they wouldn't be very noticeable when the sofa was up against a wall.  
You can easily undo the fabric at the bottom corners in back to see if there are Tnuts in the frame at the corners, or maybe just broken dowels.  I'm really curious.  It's a lovely sofa and is a relatively simple and easy upholstery job.  

Hi Spanky, as always, thank you for providing your expert comments on the reupholstery of the piece...much appreciated!
I will dig around a little bit more now that I know the fabric and legs are coming off!

Something like this? Ita not the best sketch as I was sorta distracted by walking dead

hey, that looks very complimentary to the style in the front while still being something that should not be too expensive to have manuafatured....maybe walnut?
 I just want to make sure it will bear the weight since it seems the lovely sculptural legs on these couches have a tendency to snap and therefore the stump response overkill.  
 
Have you drawn a metal plate on the leg on the far right?  is that how it would attach to the underneath of the structure?  or for strength does the wood continue under the arm to the front leg?
I saw walking dead last night and I was praying for a distraction....too intense...whoa
Anyway, thank you difeliciatonio for taking the time to do that...very helpful, interesting and appreciated
seriously
grateful...trying to tick off the things I need to do to get this piece back in shape but have expertise in none of it so all of your input is very helpful!

let me spend some more time and draw it again, but on the far right it was a tenon, that or 
 
if you want, get me a better profile pics of the side, back and 3/4 angle again and ill bring out the cintiq and do overlays in photoshop
 
in email is difeliciantonio@hotmail.com if you want to send them to me

wow, i am happy to pay you for your time if you like...
I am going to be unavailable starting tomorrow until the end of the month.  I will send pics to you the first week of April and if you decide to go ahead thanks again
super gracious of you!
 

I have kept this post in the back of my mind since it was posted a few months ago...
I was impressed by both the sofa itself and the sketch by difeliciantonio....
I think he was right on with how the legs should look, I found this very similar Pearsall sofa yesterday while doing some research and wanted to share.

FLagent,
hello and thank you for flagging this 1stdibs listing and taking the time to refer it back to this thread.  I agree...difeliciantonio nailed it...
I am glad you included the pictures...I can add them to my file on this...your timing was serendipitious as well because I have finished some medical treatment and am just reviving this project,,,cheers and thanks again,
