Small Scale French Napoleon III Settee in Red Velvet

About the Item

A magnificent small scale 19th century French Napoleon III “chapeau de gendarme” style settee in red velvet with contrasting bullion fringe. This lovely small scale French Napoleon III settee features lovely turned legs, and gracefully curved arms. The classic “chapeau de gendarme” shaped back provides superior lumbar support and comfort. We have added casters in front to provide optimal pitch and relaxation, and to facilitate ease of movement. It is finished in rich red velvet with contrasting bullion fringe. The smaller scale of this lovely settee makes it the perfect size for an alcove, bedroom or sitting room. It measures 34 inches high, 64 inches wide, and 36 inches deep, with a 14 inch seat height and 21 inch arm height. The actual seating area is 52 inches wide and 24 inches deep. This charming settee is part of the vast collection at 145 Antiques, which includes an extensive range of vintage and unique tables, furniture, and decorative items. Each piece is chosen for its quality and timeless appeal. Our selection of vintage seating is carefully curated to meet the highest standards of design and craftsmanship. Please note that this settee has not been re-upholstered recently and the fabric is vintage. Vintage fabric may show signs of wear including stains and spots. Please ask any specific questions about the condition of the settee including the fabric. We always recommend reupholstering vintage seating before using. All seating is sold as is. We will gladly send you more photos if you ask. Ref #: SFA0225-01 Dimensions: 34”H x 64”W x 36”D (14” Seat Height, 21” Arm Height)
