I would really appreciate the communities help identifying this couch. It was pulled from my grandfathers office when the company was sold. I think he purchased this couch along with a matching executive chair back in 60's/70's. I tried looking under the cushions, under the couch and all over the chair, but I can find any identifying marks. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

May be Dunbar
Looks like it might be a Wormley design for Dunbar. It's obviously been reupholstered and they usually are marked in the decking or with a fabric label which is often lost when reupholstered. You'd need more detailed shots to compare, (the stretchers between the legs, etc.) but at first glance, it's close to a Wormley sofa I've had before.

Additional pics
I uploaded a few additional pics of the underside, please let me know if this helps. I didn't see writing or an identifying mark on the underside.

Looks like Dunbar
Just saw your photos of the internal structure and that kind of construction is typical of Dunbar.

I don't think it's Wormley
I have a Wormley and the only three-legged config he did did not have the arms coming all the way out to meet the seat deck. Maybe another designer for Dunbar? Or a copy.
