️ Design & Craftsmanship
Date/Period: 1970s
Maker/Brand: French artisan craftsmanship (not reproduction imports)
Style: Louis XVI – recognized for straight lines, symmetry, and carved floral motifs
Color: Baby blue velvet and damask upholstery paired with a soft antique silver frame
Material: Solid beechwood, velvet, silk-blend damask, updated padding
The solid beechwood frame is known for its durability and fine grain, making it a staple in French furniture-making traditions. Its surface has been refinished a couple of years ago in an antique silver leaf patina, which accentuates the carved detailing—fluted legs, floral rosettes, and scrolling accents. This finish creates a subtle metallic sheen that pairs beautifully with the gentle pastel tones of the upholstery. Some natural marks on the frame remain, adding character and affirming its authenticity.

✨ Upholstery & Detailing
Backrest: Upholstered in a baby blue velvet, richly textured and soft to the touch. The front panel is tufted, offering a classic French look with elegant depth.
Seat: Covered in a luxurious damask fabric, a silk-and-cotton blend featuring a refined floral motif. The shimmering threads of the damask shift in tone depending on the light, adding sophistication and visual interest.
Frame Finish: Antique silver patina complements the blue upholstery, striking a perfect balance between warmth and coolness in palette.

Comfort: The settee has been re-padded and re-upholstered a few months ago, providing excellent comfort and ensuring that it is not only decorative but also ready for everyday use.
Every design element—from the hand-carved frame to the damask seat—reflects the French tradition of creating furniture that is both functional and a work of art.
