I have been looking at this sofa recently, which is advertised as being by Wegner. However, I have not been able to find another example like it. Hoping someone might recognize it?

Not sure that it is Wegner....
Not sure that it is Wegner. It is similar to the GE-236 sofa designed by Wegner and produced by Getama. But the legs and seat cushions are quite a bit different. Usually any Wegner/Getama pieces are stamped "Getama Gedsted Denmark, Design Hans J Wegner. You may want to ask the seller if there are any markings on the sofa. Hope this helps.

Thanks. Yes, the overall...
Thanks. Yes, the overall shape is similar to the GE236, which is a sofa I have also been considering, although as you noted it is quite different in its details. The long tapered dowel legs on this sofa remind me a lot of many of the pieces Wegner did for A.P. Stolen. I could not see any markings underneath, but was not able to get that good of a look. The next time I go back, I will ask more questions about it, but I also would not mind independently verifying what it is, as it would represent an expensive purchase for me.

Yes, the legs do remind me of Wegner's AP Stolen peices. Here are a couple of websites that I find helpful when trying to ID furniture.

The second link is to the Danish Museum of Art & Design so you need to enter the name of the designer.
Hope this is of some help.

I have the steel leg version...
I have a similar Wegner sofa, steel leg version model 34/3 (below). I have seen these with wooden legs although would like to see more images before saying if it is right or not. I can't recall if I have seen one with the style of leg in your pic, there is of course the squarer leg GE-236 as mentioned above which is quite different..

Thanks. I have always liked...
Thanks. I have always liked the profile of the sofa you have, with the relatively thin frame section under the seat cushions, and how this allows for a much longer leg than a typical sofa has. I will have to ask the seller where the attribution comes from the next time I visit.
