Item Details

This magnificent walnut settee is the centerpiece of a High Victorian Renaissance Revival parlor suite. It features a commanding crest rail centered by a hand-carved maiden mask, a neoclassical motif that serves as a hallmark of premium 1870s craftsmanship. The settee exhibits a sophisticated architectural silhouette, defined by open arms with integrated pads and heavy, turned front legs accented by carved rosettes. The piece has been expertly reupholstered in a refined cream damask with deep diamond-tufting, offering a elegant, modern contrast to the deep tones of the walnut frame.
