Each grouping of carved motifs is centered around the naturalism of acanthus and foliage, the crest a most impressive display replete with an inset rocaille surmounted by flowers and furls of leafage. The open arm form eliminates even a hint of bulk, allowing the form to remain breezy and light with undulating curves that follow the seat back into the outward splayed arms and finally into the cabriole legs terminating in scrolled french toes. We have left the early and probably original covering on the settee so that the buyer can work with their own upholsterer to have it covered to match their room, the original horsehair stuffing still intact in the seat and back. It is an absolutely gorgeous piece - we may still have two additional pairs of matching arm chairs available in the shop.

Measurements: 50” W x 23 1/8” D x 38 1/4” H, 15” H to seat less
