This elegant set consists of one corbeille model sofa, four bergère easy chairs with cane sides, and two bergère easy chairs without cane sides.
The sofa is made in the classic French corbeille model, with an elegant curved form that gives the piece a graceful and refined silhouette. Together with the matching bergère chairs, it creates a complete and impressive salon arrangement.
The handmade frames are crafted from beech wood and retain their original old pastel and green Trianon finish. The carved beech frames are beautifully decorated with hand-carved floral, scroll, and ornamental details, giving the set a refined and romantic French appearance. The original colored and decorated wooden finish has developed a lovely aged patina over time, adding depth, charm, and authenticity.

The complete set has recently been professionally re-upholstered by a skilled team. The upholstery features a beautiful combination of soft velvet and floral damask fabric. The sides of the sofa and chairs are upholstered in tufted velvet, while the backs are finished in a solid velvet style. The backrests and seat cushions are upholstered in an elegant floral damask fabric, made from a silk and cotton blend. The damask has been carefully chosen as a beautiful matching combination with the colored and decorated beech wood frame, creating a harmonious and luxurious overall look.

We have also added extra small decorative cushions to the sofa, as shown in the photos. These cushions will come with the sofa as a gift from us. They are not included in the price, but will be included with the set for the buyer.

This unique French salon set has a soft, luxurious, and highly decorative look. Because of its impressive size and complete 7-piece composition, the set is especially suitable for big foyers, spacious living rooms, grand salons, boutique hotels, dressing rooms, or elegant interior projects. The combination of carved beech wood, original pastel Trianon finish, cane details, matching damask upholstery, and fresh professional upholstery makes this a standout decorative set.
