Description

A charming and beautifully proportioned antique French painted and parcel-gilt boudoir chair sofa - an intimate, decorative single seat in the Louis XV taste, designed for the private apartment rather than the formal reception room.

The frame is painted ivory white with parcel-gilt highlights to the mouldings, slender cabriole legs, and a carved floral cartouche to the centre apron - a combination that gives the piece its characteristic French lightness and refinement. The deep-buttoned back and generous seat are upholstered in salmon-pink velvet, finished throughout with brass stud detailing to all edges.

Compact in scale yet generous in comfort, this is precisely the kind of piece that transforms a bedroom corner, dressing room, or entrance hall. The combination of painted frame, gilded highlights, velvet upholstery, and Rococo form makes it highly appealing to interior designers and collectors alike.

The painted frame presents well overall, with areas of honest wear to the paint and gilding at the legs, arm terminals, and upper rail - entirely characteristic of a piece of this age and consistent with normal use. The carved floral cartouche to the apron is intact. The cabriole legs are structurally sound with no repairs noted.
