A timeless settee in the Louis XVI taste dating from the 19th century with painted wood frame sheltering the upholstered interior of three down-feather seat cushions, tight seatback, and two side panels.

$9,800.0037"H x 65.88"W x 25.50"D
Dimensions: 37” H x 65 ⅞” W x 25 ½” D
French, 18th century Louis XV period seating ensemble to instantly transform a parlor or living room into a grand “salon” with seven pieces: one camelback sofa, three fauteuil armchairs, and three (armless) side chairs. Upholstery of cut velvet in pale green–like a white jade–has been brocaded with tonal damask patterns, harmonizing with the botanical theme in the caved frames, and outlined in brass nailhead trim. The giltwood frames have patinated over the centuries to reveal the deep red bole underneath, giving definition to the sinuous, rococo curves accented with floral and foliate carvings positioned at strategic points for maximum effect. The thoughtful proportions of the seat interior (balancing the heights and depths) are all quite comfortable, with dense stuffing of horse hair or other natural material that remains mostly firm and supportive underneath the tight upholstery.

$3,500.0037.75"H x 55.38"W x 23"D
Dimensions: 37 ¾” H x 55 ⅜” W x 23” D
A circa 1780 English settle or hall bench in solid oak with paneled back and removable bench cushion. After nearly three centuries the wood appears ebonized with dark patina that enhances the sharp angles of the recesses in the paneling. The geometry of the seat back establishes three places to comfortably seat up to three guests (although best for two people) enclosed by low, gently scrolling arms. A foam bench cushion upholstered in cinnamon-toned, velvety material of gently worn condition rests on a (more recent) wood deck for support. From the side view one can see holes that are evidence the seat was originally made of rush, now the zippered cushion is a modern and practical choice for cleaning and comfort. Elevating the whole are three, turned and tapering pad-footed front legs, quite thick, and two squared back legs to sit flush against a wall. The wood frame has been cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to reveal every historic character. Please view the detailed images to see more.
