A classic French sofa, it features a curved back with intricate carvings, cabriole legs, and a curved apron adorned with Louis XV floral motifs. The graceful scroll feet and overall design make it a perfect fit for a French provincial or Hamptons-style home.

The velvet upholstery is in great condition, incredibly soft and light, offering a beautiful contrast to the deep color of the wood. The seat's springs remain firm and strong, and the solid frame is in perfect working order. Although this is an antique piece, it’s important to always lift it from underneath, not by the armrests, to ensure it lasts another hundred years.

Additionally, a matching lounge chair and dining arm chair are available for sale. The design is reminiscent of the Reine style, with beautiful floral ornaments on the back and legs of the frame. The wood is likely walnut, showcasing an absolutely stunning grain and finish. Seat height 47cm. See less
