Early 1900s French Louis XVI Gold & Blue-Green Velvet Sofa Set
An exceptional early 1900s French Louis XVI seating set, consisting of one elegant corbeille sofa and four matching bergère armchairs. This complete five-piece antique suite combines refined French craftsmanship with richly carved beechwood, genuine gold leaf and luxurious blue-green velvet upholstery.
The set has a strong architectural presence while maintaining the graceful symmetry and elegant proportions associated with the Louis XVI style.
Design & Craftsmanship
Each piece is handcrafted from solid beechwood and decorated with finely carved classical details, including floral garlands, rosettes, fluted elements and delicate neoclassical ornamentation.
The frames were refinished several years ago with a genuine gold leaf patina, enhancing the depth of the carvings while maintaining a softly aged antique appearance.
Blue-Green Velvet Upholstery
The complete set has been recently reupholstered in high-quality blue-green velvet with subtle tonal variations. The rich velvet beautifully complements the warm antique gold finish of the frames.
Tufted seating adds further depth and elegance while providing a comfortable and luxurious appearance.
Decorative Figural Panels
One of the most distinctive features of this suite is the decorative imagery incorporated into the upholstery.
The sofa features a romantic scene depicting an elegant ballroom gathering, while the matching armchairs feature charming scenes of couples dancing within garden settings.
These decorative panels give each piece additional visual character and make the complete ensemble particularly unusual.
