18th Century, French Laquered Giltwood Louis XVI Sofa by Pierre Nicolas Pillot
Located in IT
18th Century, French Laquered and Giltwood Louis XVI Sofa by Pierre Nicolas Pillot
Stamped "PILLOT". Manufacture of PILLOT Pierre Nicolas (1748 - 1822)
This important Louis XVI sofa was made by Pierre Nicolas Pillot (1748 - 1822) in the second half of the 18th century in France.
The oval shaped seat has a carved wooden band with geometric decoration, gilded and lacquered in shades of blue. The ten legs, shaped like an inverted cone trunk, tapered and grooved, are also lacquered and gilded and originate from a quadrangular golden element with flower in the center. Very nice the back of the sofa, asymmetrical and sinuous line and move. The two external front legs give rise to the curvilinear armrests that end in a curl. From this element unfolds the backrest that completely wraps the seat.
The sofa is stamped "Pillot", signed by Pierre Nicolas Pillot, "Maître" in Nîmes.
He died in Nîmes on 13 September 1822. Fourth son of Marianne Veron and Jacques Pillot, "maître d'école". At thirteen, Pierre Pillot was apprenticed to Mathieu Bauve for a period of six years. He works with this Parisian master probably for nine years as a companion. In 1776 he moved to Nîmes, and after his marriage to Marianne Saulet in 1779, he became a Master in 1780. His workshop was located in the Prat district on College Island. His stamped production specializes in seats, between chairs, armchairs and sofas. His ornamental repertoire is predominantly neoclassical. Many of his furniture is kept in French museums, including the Musée du Vieux Nîmes and the Musée Fabre à Montpellier.
Overall, the sofa has a line that resembles a dormeuse, but with a hospitable and comfortable support for the seat of two people. This particularity makes it unusual and rare. Completely lined with ivory fabric and floral decorations, it is in good condition.
The Veilleuse are sofas for rest or "day beds" characterized by armrests of different heights and asymmetric backrest, in their function similar to the dormeuse or chaise-longue. They can therefore be used as a seat or even as a reading sofa...

Shop Unique Sofas on 1stDibs
Black leather, silk velvet cushions, breathable bouclé fabric — when shopping for antique, new or vintage sofas, today’s couch connoisseurs have much to choose from in terms of style and shape. But it wasn’t always thus.
The sofa is typically defined as a long upholstered seat that features a back and arms and is intended for two or more people. While the term “couch” comes from the Old French couche, meaning to lie down, and sofa has Eastern origins, both are forms of divan, a Turkish word that means an elongated cushioned seat. No matter how you spell it, sofa just means comfort, at least it does today.
In the early days of sofa design, upholstery consisted of horsehair or dried moss. Sofas that originated in countries such as France during the 17th century were more integral to decor than they were to comfort. Like most Baroque furnishings from the region, they frequently comprised heavy, gilded mahogany frames and were upholstered in floral Beauvais tapestry. Today, options abound when it comes to style and material, with authentic leather offerings and classy steel settees. Plush, velvet chesterfields represent the platonic ideal of coziness.
Vladimir Kagan’s iconic sofa designs, such as the Crescent and the Serpentine — which, like the sectional sofas of the 1960s created by furniture makers such as Harvey Probber, are quite popular among mid-century modern furniture enthusiasts — showcase the spectrum of style available to modern consumers. Those looking to make a statement can turn to Studio 65’s lip-shaped Bocca sofa, which was inspired by the work of Salvador Dalí. Elsewhere, the furniture of the 1970s evokes an era when experimentation ruled, or at least provided a reason to break the rules. Just about every area of society felt a sudden urge to be wayward, to push boundaries — and buttons. Vintage leather sofas of that decade are characterized by a rare blending of the showy and organic.
With so many options, it’s important to explore and find the perfect furniture for your space. Paying attention to the lines of the cushions as well as the flow from the backrest into the arms is crucial to identifying a cohesive new piece for your home or office.
Fortunately, with styles from every era — and even round sofas — there’s a luxurious piece for every space. Deck out your living room with an Art Deco lounge or go retro with a nostalgic '80s design. No matter your sitting vision, the right piece is waiting for you in the expansive collection of unique sofas on 1stDibs.
