About the Item

Immerse yourself in the splendor of 19th-century Paris with this extraordinary French Louis XV-style antique Settee /sofa. Created during the opulent Belle Époque era, circa 1890, this settee epitomizes the elegance, artistry, and craftsmanship of its time. A perfect marriage of functionality and luxury, it invites you to own a piece of history. Encasing the upholstery is a giltwood frame of exceptional quality, its surface richly adorned with detailed carvings. The frame boasts a continuous swirl motif that flows gracefully along the molded chair back and apron, with acanthus rosettes providing subtle, harmonious accents. These elements are hallmarks of the Louis XV aesthetic, blending curves, symmetry, and organic forms to create an air of regal sophistication. This settee is not only a testament to artistic excellence but also to durability. The sturdy construction ensures it remains functional and reliable, even after more than a century. It is in good antique condition, with age-appropriate wear that enhances its character and authenticity. The gentle patina of the giltwood, coupled with the soft wear of the upholstery, tells the story of its long and storied journey. It measures 43" height by 52" wide & 31" deep. Seat height 16" & seat depth 21" The beauty of this antique sofa lies in its versatility. While steeped in history, its design seamlessly integrates into a variety of interiors. Whether placed as a statement piece in a classic French-inspired living room, a dramatic focal point in a contemporary space, or an accent in an entryway, this settee elevates any environment with its timeless charm and sophistication.
