1980 French Louis Xvi Blue Velvet Gilt Beech Settee

Chairish

$2,750

A refined 1980 French Louis XVI–style corbeille settee, beautifully restored and newly upholstered in rich royal blue velvet with a decorative scenic fabric seat. With its rounded corbeille back, graceful arms, carved frame, and warm gilt finish, this piece brings timeless French elegance to a living room, entryway, bedroom, dressing room, or boutique interior. The solid beechwood frame is carved with classic Louis XVI and neoclassical motifs, including floral details, balanced ornament, and softly curved lines. It has been professionally refinished in an antique gold patina, highlighting the carved decoration while preserving the settee’s vintage character. The upholstery combines luxurious royal blue velvet on the backrest, arms, and outer seating areas with a central decorative fabric panel. The scene is pressed into a fabric made from a blend of cotton with silk, inspired by 19th-century French romantic imagery. It depicts elegantly dressed figures in a refined social setting, adding artistic charm and a narrative focal point to the piece. New padding and filling have been added during the restoration, making the settee comfortable while maintaining its elegant French silhouette.
