Description:
Here is a rare and stunning quality stunning example of an antique French Louis XVI style carved walnut three piece upholstered suite, which has been newly upholstered, circa 1860, from the 2nd Empire period, in excellent condition. The suite consists of a pair of armchairs and one large two-seat couch. The suite is constructed of solid walnut and features stunning quality carved floral cartouches, acanthus leaves and a floral frame, which terminates on cabriole legs all round and incorporates the original small brass and ceramic castors to the front legs.
The armchairs feature scroll arms; shield backs, shaped sides and a serpentine front. The back rail features stunning floral carvings to the centre of the pediment and the frames are carved with acanthus leaves. The base of the suite is firmly sprung so that you do not sink into the seats but at the same time they are extremely comfortable sit on. The undersides are upholstered with the original webbing.
