About the Item

This elegant French late 19th century small scale Napoleon III settee features a gracious curved back with built-in lumbar support and rolled arms that are typical of seating during this period and add to the settee's sophistication. We have added casters in front to provide optimal pitch and relaxation, and to facilitate effortless movement within any space. Stripped down to the muslin, it needs to be reupholstered and may need new springs. This gives you the opportunity to choose a fabric that matches your personal style and interior. The settee's unusually small size makes it perfect for a bedroom or a child's room, while its scrolled back design adds a touch of uniqueness and character. Measuring 32 inches high, 56 inches wide and 31 inches deep, it has a seat height of 14 inches and an arm height of 21 inches. Overall, this Napoleon III style settee is a must-have for anyone who values classic elegance and timeless design. Please note that this sofa has been stripped to the muslin and is ready to be re-upholstered in the fabric of your choice. Please ask any specific questions about the condition of the sofa in advance. We always recommend reupholstering vintage seating before using. All seating is sold as is. We will gladly send you more photos if you ask. Ref #: SFA0225-02 Dimensions: 32”H x 56”W x 31“D (14”Seat Height, 21” Arm Height, Inside Seat Dimensions are 43” Wide and 19” to 20” Deep)
