<meta charset="UTF-8" />Finely carved beech sofa, model with fluted front legs, topped with a rosette connecting die and Etruscan saber-shaped front legs. The apron is carved with a row of piastres, the armrest supports have fluted balusters, and the backrest is scrolled. It is newly upholstered in champagne-colored silk gourgouran with lines (Fontenay model by Tassinari and Châtel). Our seat is Parisian-made in the style of Jacob, from the Directoire period - late 18th century, circa mid-1790s.
It is interesting to note that this type of seat represents the transitional style between the Louis XVI and Empire styles: the front of the seat is still very Louis XVI, while the back, with the scrolled backrest and saber-shaped legs, prefigures the Empire style.
It's ideal for a living room or a bedroom as a throw-away.
Excellent condition. Horsehair trim on the straps, newly upholstered in silk with black braid. We had four matching cushions made. A very bright set, a perfect blend of modern and antique.
