Neoclassical Swedish Satinwood Daybed or Recamier

It is quite unusual to find an early 20th century wicker chaise longue in the nearly pristine as this one was found--fresh from a Beverly Hills Estate. This chaise embodies the current Coastal Design aesthetic. There is some minor rubbing to the wicker and a few paint losses plus a couple of paint drips, but overall, the chaise is in wonderful sturdy condition and ready for another 100 years of use. We have elected to leave it in a lightly patinated state, rather than repaint it, as this maintains the character of the chaise. The red ticking...

This is a very attractive and unusual Mid-19th Century satinwood double pedestal desk. True 19th century satinwood is an expensive, very desirable and rare. The wood is fine grained, but figured, and used principally in veneer work and in inlay.

Currently the drawers must be opened with a key. We have ordered appropriate 19th century-style bail pulls...

"A rare and impressive Regency period Récamier sofa or fainting couch, circa 1820s. Exquisite and vibrant Satinwood sleigh form featuring a scroll crest rail, rolled and flared arms. Upholstered in an elegant blue French brocade. Supported by curvilinear scrolled legs with block feet. Acquired from a 1980s auction after a heated bidding exchange with Ralph Lauren. The modern chaise longue was first popularised during the 16th century in France. They were created by French furniture craftsmen for the rich to rest without the need to retire to the bedroom. It was during the Rococo period that the chaise longue became the symbol of social status and only the rarest and most expensive materials were used in their construction. Today, the chaise longue is seen as a luxury item for the modern home. They are often used to complement a home's décor such as living or reading rooms, or as a stylish boudoir chair for bedroom seating. Duchesse brisée (Broken duchess in French): this word is used when the chaise longue is divided in two parts: the chair and a long footstool, or two chairs with a stool in between them. The origin of the name is unknown. Récamier: a récamier has two raised ends, and nothing on the long sides. It is sometimes associated with French Empire (neo-classical) style. It is named after French society hostess Madame Récamier (1777–1849), who posed elegantly on a couch of this kind for a portrait, painted in 1800 by Jacques-Louis David. The shape of the récamier is similar to a traditional lit bateau...
