1. Sofa: The sofa is decorated with a majestic noble coat of arms in the center of the upper part of the backrest, underlining its belonging to a high-ranking family. The golden damask fabric padding, although showing signs of wear, retains traces of detailed red embroidery, which gives an elegant and luxurious contrast. The gilding on the carvings follows a floral and ornamental workmanship, typical of the style, and extends along the armrests and legs, creating a sense of continuity with the other pieces in the set.


2. Armchairs: The two armchairs are combined with the sofa and have an equally elaborate structure. Each armchair features a curved backrest and detailed carvings along the frame and armrests. The gilding, rich and brilliant, combines with the light, slightly worn fabric, which highlights the antiquity and value of the furniture.


3. Table: The table features a central support carved with richly carved patterns and a four-legged base decorated with scrollwork and floral details, all gilded to match the other pieces. Currently, the upper floor is missing, leaving the supporting structure exposed, but the base still shows all the beauty of the craftsmanship of the time.



This drawing room represents a fine example of craftsmanship and noble design from the era of Charles X, a period in which ornamental details and gilding were symbols of luxury and prestige. less
