About the Item

What interesting secrets this settee must possess. Imagine this piece in a bedroom of an historic French chateau in the countryside. Petite, yet bold in character from the design to the ornate carvings, holding its own against other beautiful designs throughout time. This stunning French settee boasts ornate hand carved trim work over the entire frame, continuing into the legs and arms. The carvings that frame the seat and back are a combination of tulip patterns topped with a geometric pattern. Legs begin from the base frame with a block/floral medallion leading into fluted legs finished with ornate brass caps and wheels. The vertical uprights supporting the arms showcase a horizontal fluting as a backer to the arm rest columns, which showcase a French swirled motif along with an acanthus resting on top of the hand rest. This unique piece is then upholstered in a bold and beautiful, rich purple plum velvet fabric, done by a well-known upholstery/furniture company out of Nashville, Tennessee. A perfect color accent piece for a warm and unique design concept. Beautiful coupled with warm browns, taupes, or cool blues. A "must consider" for those with discerning taste in unique pieces.

18th Century French Walnut Louis XV Style Fauteuil with Original Petit Point
Located in Louisville, KY
This mid 18th century French Louis XV walnut fauteuil with seemingly gloriously original upholstery portrays an exquisite petit-point that shows beautiful aging and a few minor areas that are reparable. The chair frame encompassing the padded back, arms, and serpentine-fronted seat apron are of rich walnut and are intricately hand carved revealing a floral crest in the center the top frame, flanked with stunningly done leaves that wrap the upper corners and continue down to the arms leading into the front seat apron with recessed gadroons along the way ultimately revealing a floral motif that continues on the crowns of the hipped cabriole legs that finish with a single scroll on pad bottoms. The overall wood of this chair is quite spectacular in that it seems to have the original rubbed finish which reveals the raw beauty of the wood and the patina flows beautifully into the wonderfully aged petit-point covering. This piece was part of a collection of a prominent Louisville family and spent a portion of its life in a stunning music conservatory as a piece of historic art beautifully positioned next to an antique baby grand piano.
