This elegant 5-piece seating suite combines hand-carved beechwood frames, a refreshed gold leaf finish, soft beige velvet upholstery, and woven silk scenic back panels for an exceptional French decorative presence.
Each piece reflects the balanced symmetry and refined ornamentation associated with Louis XVI Revival design. The solid beechwood frames are carved with floral and ribbon motifs, gently curved classical legs, and carefully shaped details that give the set a graceful salon silhouette. The gold leaf finish has been professionally refreshed, highlighting the depth of the carving and creating a warm contrast with the neutral upholstery.
The sofa and chairs have been fully reupholstered with new padding and reinforcement. Beige velvet covers the seating surfaces, giving the set a luxurious soft texture and an inviting, elegant appearance. The sofa has a deeply tufted seat, while the backs of the sofa and all four armchairs are finished with handwoven silk panels depicting romantic pastoral scenery. This rare decorative detail adds artistry, depth, and an unmistakably French character to the entire set.
Four fringed accent cushions are included as a complimentary gift. They are not included in the sale price but will be supplied with the set.
