About the Item
An elegant late 19th century French Directoire style sofa, sourced in Provence. The rectilinear frame showcases the clean neoclassical lines and restrained ornamentation of the Directoire period, with scrolled arms, rosette carvings at the corners, and tapered legs. The painted finish in creamy antique white with pale blue accents carries a soft patina, its silhouette neatly outlined with brass nailhead trim. The sofa has been structurally revised for stability and retains its original deep blue velvet upholstery, featuring three loose seat cushions, three back cushions, and a pair of bolster pillows. The upholstery, though worn in places, reflects the piece’s age and authenticity while remaining comfortable and inviting. A substantial and timeless antique sofa that embodies the understated elegance of French Directoire design, ready to anchor both classic and transitional interiors.
