This elegant circa 1970 French Louis XVI Corbeille settee combines a gracefully curved silhouette with carved solid beechwood, a warm antique-gold finish, and refined floral damask upholstery. Artisan-crafted in France, the piece reflects the romantic character and balanced neoclassical proportions associated with Louis XVI seating.
The solid beechwood frame is shaped in the classic corbeille form, with a gently rounded back and harmonious proportions. Richly carved floral motifs, openwork decoration, and finely modelled ornamental details add depth throughout the frame.
The wood has been recently professionally refinished in an antique-gold tone, emphasizing the carved decoration and giving the settee a warm, elegant vintage appearance.
The seating has also been professionally reupholstered in a high-quality floral damask fabric woven from a cotton-and-silk blend. The subtle sheen and decorative floral pattern complement the antique-gold frame beautifully, while renewed padding provides comfortable and supportive seating.
