Design & Craftsmanship
Handcrafted from solid beechwood, the frame showcases the iconic Louis XVI corbeille form, softly curved, inviting, and perfectly balanced. The wood has been professionally refinished in a warm antique gold tone, enhancing the depth and clarity of the intricate carvings.

The crest rail is richly adorned with finely sculpted putti and elaborate acanthus leaf motifs, while additional carved details flow throughout the frame. The settee is further distinguished by beautifully sculpted figures integrated into the arms, adding a rare and artistic dimension to the design.

Upholstery & Materials
The settee has been newly upholstered in luxurious deep blue velvet, offering a bold and elegant contrast to the gold frame. The seat is generously padded and tufted for both comfort and visual richness.

The backrest features cane panels on either side, with a central upholstered medallion in decorative fabric, adding texture and classical charm. The combination of velvet, cane, and carved wood creates a layered and refined aesthetic.
