Louis XVI Style Canapé & Fauteuils from the 1938 Movie “Marie Antionette”
Located in Alexandria, VA
These 3 stunning antique pieces are noteworthy for their beauty, exquisite design and craftsmanship alone. But added to that is their history as artifacts from Hollywood’s Golden Age. In the early 1930’s Irving Thalberg, head of Metro Goldwyn Mayer studio in Hollywood, sent the art director Edwin B. Willis to Paris to purchase furnishings appropriate for creating sets depicting the interiors of the Palace of Versailles for the Movie “Marie Antionette”, one of the most expensive movies of the 1930’s. The movie starred his wife Norma Shearer, Tyrone Power, John Barrymore, and Gladys George. This Canapé en Corbeille and pair of matching fauteuils were selected for the set of Madame du Barry’s (Louis XV’s mistress) salon. Following this movie it was used by the studio in many other films including : "Ninotchka" (1939),"New Moon" (1940),"Reunion in France" (1942),"Meet Me in St. Louis" (1944),"Mrs. Parkington" (1944),"Madame Bovary" (1949),"An American in Paris" (1951), "Kind Lady" (1951),"The Swan" (1956),"Gigi" (1958),"Two Weeks in Another Town" (1962), "Made in Paris" (1966)," and Fitzwilly" (1967). From watching these movies we can tell you that Leslie Caron sang a song sitting on the canape. Joan Crawford sat on it in “Reunion in France” and Grace Kelly in “The Swan”. When MGM’s props...

Unique Chairs, Sofas and Other Seating for Sale on 1stDibs
With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.
Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.
Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.
The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.
Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.
With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.
Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.
No matter your style, the collection of unique chairs, sofas and other seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
