Description from the seller
VINTAGE LOUIS XV STYLE UPHOLSTERED BENCH – IVORY AND GOLD FRAME WITH FLORAL FABRIC
DESCRIPTION IN ENGLISH
Elegant and highly decorative vintage upholstered bench in Louis XV style, featuring a beautifully shaped wooden frame finished in warm ivory with refined gold-coloured details.
The design is strongly inspired by the elegant French decorative vocabulary of the 18th century, with curved cabriole legs, scrolling feet, raised side arms with characteristic curled terminals and a gently shaped front rail. The combination of the flowing lines and contrasting ivory-and-gold finish gives the piece a sophisticated and distinctly classical appearance.
The generously proportioned seat is upholstered in a beautiful floral decorative fabric featuring shades of sage green, beige, cream, pink, red and orange. The botanical composition covers the seat and creates an attractive contrast with the light-coloured and gilded wooden frame.
The curved side arms terminate in characteristic scroll-shaped details, while the perimeter of the seat is finished with decorative passementerie. The elegant proportions make this bench both a functional seating piece and a strong decorative element.
STYLE AND PERIOD
Style: Louis XV / French Rococo
Period: Vintage, 20th century, made in an antique-inspired style
Provenance: cannot be determined with certainty from the available photographs; no visible maker’s mark or signature.
Materials: shaped wooden frame, ivory and gold-coloured finish, upholstery and decorative textile.
This versatile piece would work beautifully in a classic interior, vintage home, bedroom, entrance hall, dressing room, boutique, living room or at the foot of a bed. It can also be used as a purely decorative statement piece.
CONDITION
The bench is offered in vintage condition with visible signs of age and use, consistent with its age and character.
The wooden frame retains its original decorative character but shows wear, abrasions, small imperfections and losses to the finish in several areas. The gilded details also show natural variations and signs of ageing.
The upholstery displays creases, signs of use and areas of passementerie/fringe that require attention or restoration. The underside reveals the original upholstery construction, with fabrics and materials showing signs of age. A conservation restoration and/or upholstery refurbishment may therefore be considered according to the buyer’s preference.
The photographs intentionally show the front, sides, back, underside and upholstery details, allowing the condition to be assessed as accurately as possible.
Please carefully examine all photographs, as they form an integral part of the description and provide the best representation of the item’s condition.
