About the Item

A stately French Directoire-style sofa, crafted in solid walnut and offering timeless elegance with understated architectural lines. This three-seat piece reflects the restrained neoclassical aesthetic of the Directoire period, circa late 18th to early 19th century. • Frame: Constructed in rich walnut with fluted legs and gently curved armrests, showcasing the clean geometry and refined detailing typical of the Directoire style. • Upholstery: Currently upholstered in a neutral linen, the sofa has been previously recovered but is ready for its next chapter—ideal for customization to suit your interior palette. • Form: Generously proportioned with three separate seat cushions, offering both comfort and visual balance. Whether placed in a formal salon, a curated library, or a modern eclectic space, this piece invites restoration and personalization while preserving its French heritage and architectural grace.
