READ ABOUT OUR GALLERY. FRENCH LOUIS XV STYLE CARVED GILTWOOD SETTEE. Paris, circa 1890; with early aubusson covering Item # 909YWT19. A very high quality Parisian settee from the turn of the century during the height of the Belle époque, this exceptional seating piece features an early aubusson hand stitched covering. There is a boldness in the form of the frame that is striking with unusually thick legs, arms and frame members. These are embellished with extensive carved motifs throughout, including an infinite swirl that travels around the perimeter of the molded chair back and apron with intervals of acanthus rosettes. The crest is highlighted with a pair of large flowers over swirling ribbon flanked by outward flowing foliage. Open arms flank a stitched aubusson covering depicting a scene of young children playing together in extensive gardens with their dogs. The sofa rests over six cabriole legs terminating in scrolled toes, each of the front legs with large carved rosettes of serrated foliage. There is a sense of time and era in the historical surface, this rich burnished gold that has oxidized and worn away to reveal the white gesso and red bole beneath. It remains a rare and unusually fine seating piece. 74″ W x 29 1/2″ D x 45 H x approx. 15 H to seat. Condition Report: Extensive wear to original gilding. Early aubusson with loose threads (particularly at the corners), wear to piping, gimp loss and open seams. Hooks added to reverse of frame. Very sturdy, comfortable and strong throughout.
