Italian Louis XVI Walnut and Vienna Straw Antique Settee with 2 Chairs

About the Item

We are delighted to present this rare 18th-century living room set, which includes a long sofa (approximately three seats) and two accompanying chairs. Originating from Italy, this exquisite set was crafted by skilled cabinetmakers during the Louis XVI period. The structure is made of solid walnut, showcasing the craftsmanship of the era, while the seats and backrests feature fine Vienna straw, meticulously woven by hand using traditional techniques. The design is characterized by simple and rigorous lines, embodying the refined and discreet elegance favored during this historical period. Delicate floral carvings add a touch of artistry to the wooden structure, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. For added comfort, the seats have been fitted with custom-made cushions, elegantly upholstered in rich red velvet. While the set exhibits some signs of age, including minor defects in the Vienna straw and a few stains on the velvet cushions, these imperfections do not compromise its stability or charm. This living room set perfectly represents the Italian elegance of the 18th century and is ideal for embellishing a room, study, or entrance hall, bringing a piece of history and sophistication into your home.
