With its rounded silhouette, refined neoclassical carving, and soft neutral color palette, this settee brings classic French charm to a living room, bedroom, entryway, dressing room, boutique, or salon interior.
The frame is crafted from solid beechwood and carved with traditional Louis XVI details, including fluting, rosettes, ribbon-inspired motifs, and delicate ornamental accents. The gilt finish has been professionally refreshed, giving the frame a warm decorative glow while highlighting the carved details.

The upholstery has been newly renewed in rich tan velvet with deep tufting, adding softness, depth, and a refined tactile quality. The back features a decorative scenic fabric panel, pressed into a cotton-silk blend fabric and inspired by 19th-century French textile designs. This detail adds a romantic historical accent and creates a beautiful contrast with the smooth velvet upholstery.
New supportive padding has been added, making the settee comfortable for use while preserving its elegant corbeille form and French salon character.
