This exquisite Circa 1980 French Louis XVI Corbeille Settee is a refined expression of classical European craftsmanship, inspired by the elegance and symmetry of 18th-century French design. Graceful in form and rich in detail, this settee serves as both a functional seating piece and a sculptural decorative statement.
Handcrafted in France around 1980, the frame is made from solid beech wood, a hardwood celebrated for its durability, smooth grain, and ability to hold fine carved detail. The structure features traditional Louis XVI elements, including balanced proportions, carved floral motifs, and elegant tapering lines. The entire frame is finished in a luminous gold leaf, carefully applied to accentuate the carved details and impart a warm, regal patina consistent with its vintage age.
The seat and inner backrest are upholstered in a sumptuous emerald green velvet, offering a plush, tactile surface with a rich depth of color. The velvet enhances the formal silhouette while providing inviting comfort, making the piece suitable for both display and daily use.
A standout feature is the oval corbeille-style medallion back, upholstered in a fine combination of silk and cotton fabric. The fabric depicts a romantic 19th-century fête champêtre scene, capturing pastoral leisure and aristocratic French life. This narrative textile introduces visual depth and historical charm, transforming the settee into a true conversation piece.
The settee has been professionally restored, ensuring excellent structural integrity while preserving its authentic vintage character. The frame is solid and stable, the upholstery is clean and vibrant, and the gold finish shows a tasteful, age-appropriate patina.
