Elegant late 19th-century French salon suite comprising a carved walnut canapé (settee) and four bergère armchairs, reflecting a refined blend of Louis XV and Louis XVI influences typical of transitional French salon furniture of this period.
The suite includes two Louis XV–style bergère chairs with gently curved frames and cabriole legs, and two Louis XVI–style bergère chairs distinguished by their more rectilinear profiles and straight, tapered legs. Together with the matching canapé, the pieces form a cohesive and visually balanced ensemble unified by scale, carving, and upholstery.
All five pieces are upholstered in a rich deep red tufted fabric woven with subtle gold accents, providing warmth, texture, and visual depth. The carved walnut frames display refined detailing and craftsmanship associated with fine late-19th-century French furniture.
This versatile suite is well suited for a living room, library, or formal sitting room, offering both comfort and classic French character.
Dimensions
• Canapé (Settee): 55″ W × 34″ D × 39″ H (Seat height: 18″; seats 2–3)
• Bergère Armchairs (each): 27″ W × 30″ D × 39″ H (Seat height: 18″)
Condition
Very good antique condition consistent with age and use. Upholstery appears to have been replaced at a later date and remains clean and intact. The walnut frames retain their original finish with a soft, attractive patina and minor surface wear appropriate to age. Structurally sound and ready for placement.
Provenance
Originated from the seller’s great-grandmother’s family in France and passed down through successive generations.
Comparable late-19th-century French salon suites often retail in the $20,000–$25,000 range; this complete five-piece suite is attractively priced to offer exceptional value for its craftsmanship, scale, and provenance.
