The two seats are framed by a richly carved wooden structure, echoing the fluid, natural lines typical of this artistic movement. The wood, carefully worked, features sculpted details that give a sense of lightness and movement, creating a play of light and shadow that enhances the overall look.

The backrest, also carved in wood, stands out for its airy and delicate craftsmanship, with ornamental motifs inspired by organic and botanical forms, a hallmark of Art Nouveau. The sinuous carvings almost seem to evoke the fluidity of an enchanted garden, making the loveseat not just a functional piece of furniture but a true work of art to be admired.

The seat is upholstered in the original fabric from the era, a refined damask that further enhances the charm of this unique piece. The warm, rich tones of the fabric blend perfectly with the dark wood, creating a harmonious contrast that lends the loveseat an atmosphere of luxury and intimacy. less
