Louis Xv–style Carved Walnut Caned Settee

1900 - 1920

Sold by Shackladys Antiques

Description

An elegant Louis XV–style caned bergère settee, crafted in richly toned carved walnut. The shaped frame features finely executed rococo ornament, including scrolling foliage and floral carving along the crest rail, apron, and cabriole legs. The serpentine top rail flows gracefully into outward-curving arms, creating a comfortable and visually balanced silhouette characteristic of 18th-century French design.

The back and sides are fitted with tightly woven natural cane panels that provide both visual lightness and structural flexibility. The pierced caning wraps around the sides, forming an inviting enclosed seat typical of bergère forms. The seat retains a loose cushion upholstered in soft olive-green velvet, offering a pleasing contrast to the warm tone of the wood and the honeyed color of the cane.

Raised on slender cabriole legs with carved detailing at the knees and feet, the piece displays refined craftsmanship and decorative elegance. The shaped apron is centered with a carved floral cartouche and scrolling motifs that echo the ornament along the crest.
