Artisan-crafted in France, the piece has refined neoclassical proportions and a romantic color palette that works beautifully in both traditional and more contemporary interiors.
The solid beechwood frame displays characteristic Louis XVI details, including fluted legs, carved rosettes, balanced architectural lines and delicate gold accents. Importantly, the frame retains its original antique-cream painted finish, complemented by hand-applied gold highlights. Natural rubbing, small marks and variations in the surface contribute to its authentic vintage character.
The settee has been professionally reupholstered in light-blue plissé velvet. The softly gathered and pleated treatment gives the fabric additional texture and depth, while the delicate blue tone contrasts elegantly with the cream and gold frame.
New padding and filling have also been added, providing comfortable and supportive seating while preserving the graceful original silhouette.
