Description from the seller
Antique Empire Style Sofa / Settee – Early 19th Century Influence
Elegant antique Empire-style sofa, inspired by early 19th century French design, featuring a refined curved backrest and classical decorative elements.
The sofa is crafted with a solid wooden structure, finished in a warm tone, and adorned with ornate carved details on the arm supports, including classical motifs typical of the Empire period. The piece stands on slender, tapered legs, giving it a light and elegant appearance despite its solid construction.
The upholstery is done in a striped fabric in soft cream and beige tones, consistent with traditional Empire interiors. The upholstery shows visible signs of age and use, including stains and wear, which are fully consistent with an antique piece and contribute to its authentic character.
This sofa is ideal as a statement piece for a classic interior, a boutique hotel, a historical setting, or a refined collector’s space.
