A baroque-inspired dormeuse banquette with a wooden frame and damask red-and-gold upholstery, dating to 1950–1960 and made in Italy, with dimensions 115 cm wide, 62 cm high, 38 cm deep and a seat height of 45 cm, weighing 9 kg and including two bolster cushions.
Description from the seller
Refined and elegant settee/banquette in Empire style, characterized by the classic "boat" line with softly curved, scroll-like outer arms. The structure in precious wood features slender saber legs that confer stability, lightness, and a timeless silhouette. The seat and arms are fully padded and upholstered in a sumptuous damask fabric in shades of red and gold, enhanced by classical motifs in contrast. The upholstery profile is finished with a border of gilded metal studs that highlight its artisanal craftsmanship. The lot also includes two elegant cylindrical bolster cushions, coordinated, perfect to accentuate the comfort and neoclassical taste of the piece. A piece of furniture with great charm, ideal to complete a bedroom, an entryway, or a formal living room.
For the conditions, the object presents in good overall vintage condition and is structurally solid. The fabric is well preserved and maintains the vibrancy of the colors, showing only very slight signs of aging. The wooden structure has small natural surface imperfections that testify to its history without minimally affecting its aesthetics and elegance.
