This magnificent French late 18th – early 19th Century (1796 – 1825) sofa hand carved in the manner of Jacob-Desmalter – an influential chairmaker and cabinetmaker who worked for King Louis XVI of France- is made of precious hand carved solid mahogany and upholstered in red velvet fabric.
\nThis settee features an extremely comfortable high and slightly arched back, large and firm seat that can comfortably accommodate 3 people.
\nThe hand-made carvings and inlays are masterfully executed. The over graceful scrolled arms and the top rail sculpted in shallow relief with acanthus leaves, lotus leaves and rosette, all typical neoclassical patterns beloved during the Directory- Restauration and Empire period and still sought after. The bowed seat and the apron of this elegant centre sofa with graceful and classical lines also offers comfortable scrolled arms and tapered legs. High-awned, slightly curved backrest frame with a wide finish for plenty of comfort. This sofa with its beautiful curvy shape is very stylish, comfortable and sturdy. The back is covered with velvet also behind that’s make it a perfect free standing piece of furniture or a centre seating piece.The sofa – why not the whole seating set with the pair of armchairs ensuite sold separately – is a great statement furnishing in a living room, perfect also in a mudroom or in a hallway.
\nPerfect structural condition, some wear on the upholster as you can see in the pictures but we can also provide new upholster fabrics on request.<\/p>\n

Measures: height 113 cm; length 170 cm; depth 56 cm. Seating height: 40 cm.<\/p>\n
