"Exceptional French Gild Wood Sofa"
An exquisite giltwood settee in the Louis XVI style. Elegantly carved and upholstered, this fine sofa richly carved motifs throughout, as well as attractively worn tapestry upholstery ornamented with floral garlands and foliage. This floral theme is echoed in the moulding on the frame of the sofa back – an intricate design of dots, flowers and foliage – with this motif being continued on the stiles raising the
médaillonbackrest, the base of the arm supports, the capitals of each leg and the centre of the apron. This settee is raised over beautiful, ribbed and twisted legs, each one terminating in a dainty arrow foot.
