About the Item
A beautifully constructed French settee from the 19th century incorporating Louis XVI decorative motifs and proportions that would also fit with Empire or Directoire tastes as well. The straight lines and verticality of the high seat back is emphasized with subtle marquetry creating a trompe l’oeil, paneled effect in the glowing fruitwood frame, marked by gilded rosettes on the corners. Manchette (upholstered) arms use the same velvet and braided trim as the interior upholstery; originally a chartreuse color now more reminiscent of persimmon. Gilded palmette carvings soften the transition from the scrolled arm terminals to the gently sloping front, inlaid with thin strips of marquetry. Tapering front legs feature capitals of gilded acanthus leaves to underscore the Neoclassical inspiration. Please view the detailed images to see more of this elegant settee.
