About the Item

This sofa is a magnificent example of burl mahogany furniture, inspired by the Biedermeier style.

The wide armrests are engraved with a reworked palmette motif on the front, creating a unique and elegant aesthetic. The ottomans slide beneath these armrests, adding a practical and discreet feature. The sofa's backrest is particularly dynamic, creating a dynamic and attractive silhouette.

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...
