Description from the seller
Antique Pair of French First Empire Cherry Sofas
Important pair of French sofas from the First Empire period, 19th century, crafted in cherry wood. The sofas are distinguished by the solemn elegance of the lines and the harmony of proportions, typical of imperial neoclassical taste.
The frame features a slightly contoured backrest and curved sides ending in uprights topped by refined pinnacles in the shape of an urn with a green oval element, which give movement and prestige to the whole. The front legs are turned and tapered, while the rear legs are linear, in perfect stylistic balance.
The seat and backrest are upholstered in luxurious blue fabric decorated with stylized floral motifs repeated, framed by coordinated piping that enhances the design and adds further sophistication. The warm tone of the cherry, with its natural grain, creates an elegant chromatic contrast with the textile upholstery.
A pair of great charm and presence, ideal for grand salons, historic homes, or traditional settings where one wishes to insert an authentic piece of furniture from the French imperial era.
Dimensions:
Height: 104 cm
Width: 160 cm
