AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Refined living-room set consisting of a two-seat sofa and two “en cabriolet” armchairs, a splendid example of Louis XVI style cabinetry (Napoleonic III period). The set stands out for its exceptional state of preservation of both the wooden frame and the upholstery.
Techniques and Artistic Details:
Structure: Made in fine precious wood, expertly carved, with fluted column legs and wavy arms that terminate in elegant rosette fittings.
Crested Elements: The true distinctive feature of this set is the decoration on the backs. Each piece features a hand-carved crest with different allegorical motifs:
Sofa: Decorated with an imposing composition of a quiver, crossed arrows, and a torch, symbolizing love and triumph.
Armchairs: Show variations of sheaves of wheat and laurel garlands, symbols of abundance and nobility.
Upholstery: Upholstered in noble cream/gold damask with a motif of laurel crowns, perfectly taut and free of signs of wear.
Conditions: Excellent. The set is ready to be placed in a prestigious residence or a private collection without need for restoration.
Dimensions:
Armchairs: Width 60; Seat height 40; Back height 103; Seat depth 50
Sofa: Width 154; Seat height 40; Back height 103; Seat depth 50
NOTE: superficial halos on the central part of the seat of the sofa visible in the photo.
