Designed for two, this elegant piece brings neoclassical French character to an entryway, salon, bedroom, dressing room, or boutique interior.
The solid beech frame is carefully hand-carved with classic Louis XVI motifs, including rosettes, fluting, beadwork, and balanced linear ornament. Its graceful silhouette is enhanced by distinctive turned detailing along the inner armrests, giving the settee a more sculptural presence than a standard Louis XVI reproduction.
The frame was refinished approximately one year ago in a warm antique-gold finish, which softly emphasizes the carvings without looking overly bright or modern. The upholstery pairs deep royal blue velvet on the backrest, arms, and side panels with a blue floral damask seat in a cotton-silk blend. This contrast of textures gives the piece both visual depth and a luxurious, inviting feel.
