About the Item

A rare antique find from Tuscany Italy. This 'Confidante' sofa, circa 1880, is in beautiful condition. The large frame is finely carved in the LXV style, with its original water gilded finish which has now gracefully aged to reveal deeper tones of red-ochre gesso and walnut beneath. The piece was sourced in this striking jewel red lampas fabric. The form conveys elegance from every angle.
