1960s • French Maker • Marquise / Louis XV Style • Gold • Beech & Velvet • Loveseat – 1 Piece
Indulge in the elegance of mid-century French craftsmanship with this exceptional 1960s French Marquise loveseat, handcrafted from solid beechwood and beautifully enhanced with luxurious upholstery and refined detailing. Its graceful silhouette, ornate carvings, and glowing gold leaf finish create a statement piece that blends historical charm with timeless sophistication.
Description
This exquisite Marquise loveseat was handmade in France during the 1960s and features a classic Louis XV–inspired profile marked by flowing serpentine lines, delicate carved floral motifs, cabriole-style curves, and an enveloping, romantic form. The frame, carved entirely from solid beechwood, offers excellent stability while allowing for crisp, detailed workmanship.
Recently restored by skilled artisans, the frame has been re-gilded with hand-applied gold leaf, intensifying its warm patina and highlighting each carved flourish. The finish complements the piece’s sculptural beauty while maintaining the integrity of the original craftsmanship.
The seat and arms are upholstered in soft tufted beige velvet, introducing plush texture and subtle sheen. The tufting is deep and symmetrical, creating classic French luxury while ensuring comfort and support.
The backrest stands out as a work of art:
Upholstered in a cotton–silk blend fabric featuring a printed 19th-century–style scenic image, it depicts an elegant pastoral tableau reminiscent of antique French textiles. The imagery adds romance, history, and individuality—making this Marquise loveseat unmistakably unique.
Perfect for a sophisticated living room, dressing room, bedroom, grand entryway, boutique interior, or refined office, this piece combines decorative artistry with functional seating.
