Description from the seller

Rococo Style 3-Seater Sofa – Gilt Wood & Floral Brocade, Early 20th Century
Overview: A Masterpiece of Romantic Elegance
Elevate your interior with this stunning 3-seater sofa, crafted in the opulent Rococo style during the first half of the 20th century. This piece is a celebration of "Le Style Rocaille," characterized by its graceful "S" curves, intricate organic motifs, and a sense of lighthearted luxury. Designed to be the crowning jewel of a formal salon or a sophisticated master suite, this sofa combines historical grandeur with the skilled craftsmanship of early 20th-century European furniture makers.

Design & Decorative Artistry
The Frame: Featuring a magnificent hand-carved wooden frame with a warm gold/gilt finish. The crest rail and apron are adorned with traditional Rococo motifs, including delicate floral bouquets and scrolling acanthus leaves.

Silhouette: The classic "Cabriole" legs and the undulating backrest create a flowing, feminine silhouette that is quintessential to the Rococo aesthetic.

Upholstery: Wrapped in a luxurious floral brocade/tapestry textile. The fabric features a rich botanical pattern that perfectly complements the golden tones of the wood.

Craftsmanship: The backrest is designed in a "triple-hump" style, providing a distinct seat for three people while maintaining a unified, sculptural appearance.

Dimensions
Length: Approx. 185 cm

Height: Approx. 100 cm

Seat Height: Approx. 45 cm

Condition & Authentic Vintage Character
This sofa is preserved in its original state from the early 1900s:

General Appearance: Exhibits "normal wear and tear" consistent with a century of use.

Frame: The wooden frame remains sturdy and structurally sound. The gilt finish shows a beautiful aged patina with minor chips and surface wear, which authenticates its vintage heritage and adds a desirable "shabby chic" elegance.

Textile: The upholstery is intact but shows signs of age, including some fading and light wear. It remains perfectly functional as is, or could serve as a magnificent candidate for professional reupholstery.

Why Bid on This Sofa?
Rococo revival pieces from this era are famous for their solid construction and artistic detail. Unlike modern reproductions, this sofa has "soul" and history. It is a substantial piece of furniture that creates an immediate atmosphere of refined luxury. Whether kept in its original "shabby chic" state or restored to its former glory, it is a timeless investment in European decorative art.
