About the Item
This exceptional French antique sofa is a striking example of 19th century craftsmanship, featuring a beautifully sculpted walnut frame and an elegant silhouette with a raised double-end back. The design is both romantic and theatrical, with gracefully curved armrests and richly carved floral motifs adorning the crest rails and apron.
The sofa has been reupholstered in a finely woven fabric with a delicate floral pattern in soft tones of coral and lavender, adding a fresh yet classic touch that enhances the ornate woodwork. The upholstery is tight and in excellent condition, providing both comfort and refinement. The floral garlands carved into the wood are particularly detailed and lend a sense of naturalistic charm to the piece.
This piece offers both structural integrity and decorative appeal. While the sofa is in good antique condition overall, a few signs of age are visible on the wooden backrest, including natural cracks and surface wear that contribute to its authenticity and character.
Perfect for a sophisticated living room, boutique hotel, or elegant entryway, this grand sofa would suit both period interiors and eclectic modern décors seeking a touch of Old World charm.
