This elegant 1970s French Louis XVI–style settee combines refined neoclassical proportions with romantic pink damask upholstery and a richly layered antique-gold finish. Artisan-made in France from solid beechwood, it is an eye-catching statement piece with the graceful symmetry and decorative craftsmanship associated with the Louis XVI tradition.
The carved beechwood frame features classic details including fluted tapered legs, floral garlands, rosettes, ribbon motifs and delicate scrollwork. Its elegant high back and balanced proportions give the settee a sophisticated architectural presence.
The frame has been professionally refinished in an antique-gold tone with subtle dark green and burgundy-red undertones. These layered colors show through selectively around the carved decoration, creating depth and the appearance of an authentically aged patina rather than a flat modern gold finish.
The settee has been recently reupholstered in a luxurious pink silk-cotton damask with a delicate floral pattern. The fabric has a soft sheen that changes subtly with the light and complements the warm gilded frame beautifully. Generous padding provides comfortable and supportive seating.
