Description from the seller
Three-Seat Sofa in Louis XV Style
Napoleonic III Era
Elegant French three-seat sofa, crafted in the Louis XV style and datable to the Napoleonic III period (mid- to late-19th century).
The frame, finely carved in solid wood, features the sinuous, flowing lines typical of the rocaille taste: curved legs, shaped apron with floral and central shell motifs, richly carved armrests, and a top crest adorned with a central foliate element.
The upholstery is covered in green velvet, enhanced by a double brass-nail trim that emphasizes its elegant profile. The patina of the gilding, now delicately softened by time, lends authenticity and charm to the whole piece.
The broad, slightly contoured backrest ensures comfort and proportion, while the solid, well-balanced structure makes the sofa suitable for both classical environments and more eclectic settings where a strong decorative presence is desired.
Dimensions:
Height: 123 cm
Width: 190 cm
Depth: 82 cm
Seat height: 45 cm
Code: DLVX8236

The items are in generally good condition, compatible with their age. The natural signs of time and use testify to the authenticity of the pieces and do not compromise their beauty, form, or structural integrity.
