Dimensions: 37 ⅛” H x 66 ½” W x 32 ½” D
A timeless banquette (or small occasional sofa) in the Louis XVI taste dating from the 19th century. Its carved and painted wood frame shelters the upholstered interior of single bench cushion, tight seatback, and a single round toss cushion all dressed in a (worn, with some staining) blush-tone dotted velvet. In classic 18th century fashion the straight top rail across the back makes a clean silhouette that is open and inviting, before sloping down to become the left-facing corner, leaving the right side open to use this like a day bed or “fainting couch”. Louis XVI legs of tapering silhouette and fluted carvings elevate the piece from the floor. The effect is a sculptural statement to delight in a bedroom, living space, or as a banquette for a kitchen dining nook–becoming one’s favorite place to lounge and relax.
