19th Century Anglo-Indian Carved & Polychromed Gondola Settee

About the Item

19th Century Anglo-Indian Carved & Polychromed Gondola Settee This 19th-century Anglo-Indian carved & polychromed gondola settee is a remarkable example of colonial-era craftsmanship, blending intricate Indian artistry with European influences. Compact yet richly detailed, this diminutive settee showcases high-relief carving and vibrant polychrome decoration, making it both a functional seat and a striking decorative piece. Standing 33 inches high, 28.5 inches wide, and 22 inches deep, with a seat height of 19 inches and an arm height of 27 inches, this settee is well-proportioned for a variety of settings. The carved and polychromed armorial cartouche back is an exceptional feature, displaying detailed patterns and motifs reminiscent of Anglo-Indian craftsmanship. The flanking scrolled arms add to the piece’s elegance, seamlessly integrating with the deeply carved patterns and rich red polychrome accents. The inset cowhide seat, measuring 25 inches wide by 22 inches deep, provides a striking textural contrast against the ornately decorated wooden frame. The settee is raised on scroll-carved legs, further enhancing its sculptural presence. A rare find, this Anglo-Indian Gondola Settee is ready to place and enjoy, offering a unique blend of historic artistry, cultural fusion, and timeless design perfect for collectors, decorators, or those seeking a subtle accent piece for any interior.
