Does anyone have a picture of vintage rattan sofa? I am having our Haywood Wakefield Ashcraft living room set re-upholstered and am not sure if the cushions are the original shape. The seat cushions are the more squared shape with a flat vertical piece but the backs are different in that they don't have that large flat piece that runs along the side (the front and back have only piping connecting them together, not a flat three inch section). I don't know if that make sense but I am not sure how else to explain it.

I am planning to use MelinaMade fabric in the orange and rust Tiki pattern and black bark cloth. Most of the sofa sets that I have seen have the pattern on the front of the seat and the back with the solid on the rest. The patterned fabric is pretty expensive and I wondered if it would look nice to use the print for the piping and throw pillow and the black bark cloth for the rest.

Just wondered if anyone had some suggestions.

Thank you!
