1870 French Empire Marquetry Inlaid Suite Berger Armchairs & Settee Canape, Pair

About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this stunning French marquetry inlaid circa 1870 Empire style three piece suite with neoclassical detailing A very rare and good looking set, the frames are mahogany with hand carved inlay to the curved backs, the upholstery is very old and has some kind of sofa silky finish. The arms each have rather stately looking figures carved in the top, they are giltwood as are the paw feet In terms of condition the frames have various chips and scratches from honest age and use, the upholstery is okay but the settee has some marks to the base, I can have it fully restored should the new owners wish to include a complete French polish of all timber and new upholstery in a fabric of your choosing, for a price please contact me Settee dimensions: Height 100cm Width 133.5cm Depth 65.5cm Bergers dimensions: Height 100cm Width 65cm Depth 65.5cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point This item is available for collection from our Wimbledon warehouses. Condition: Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
