19th Century French Charles X Mahogany Sofa

About the Item

19th Century French Charles X Mahogany Sofa is the sublime expression of understated elegance! The style was born during a period of austerity when the court wished to downplay the excesses of the monarchy to appease the public, although such efforts ultimately proved irrelevant. Here we see exotic imported mahogany in an architectural design that magnifies the sheer natural beauty of the prized wood, with a very subtly arched seatback and front apron contrasting dramatically with the sweeping "S" scroll of the armrests. Boldly turned legs provide support. Recently upholstered, it remains quite serviceable. Note the bookmatching effect of the veneer on the seat back panel, exemplifying the artistry of the craftsmen who so meticulously created this instant family heirloom. Circa 1840 Measures 33.5H x 77.5W x 26D; seat 21H

    Located in Paris, FR
    Austrian Biedermeier-period sofa crafted of mahogany veneer, upholstered in beige fabric with geometric motifs. This refined piece of furniture has rolled armrests decorated with twisted patterns and medallions, and large backrest highlighted with scrolls and palmette. The sofa rests on four square fluted legs. The Biedermeier period began in the states of the German Confederation and in the Austrian Empire in 1815 (Congress of Vienna) and ended in 1848 (March Revolution). The Biedermeier style referred mainly to the decorative arts, but also included sculpture and painting. In contrast to the opulence and heroism of Napoleon's Empire, the Biedermeier style promoted calm and simplicity. From 1830 onwards, it embodied a new, comfortable, bourgeois way of life. In furnishing, the emphasis was placed on the structure of the furniture that had robust and geometrical forms, softened by curves. The simplicity of the materials, mainly light woods, was compensated by the variety and exuberance of the forms the backrests of the seats were carved in fan shape, the armrests of the sofas rolled...
