About the Item

A French salon canapé dating from the Napoleon III period, with a curved, buttoned back and integrated arms, designed for comfort and balance within Second Empire interiors. The fully upholstered form, finished with a fringed skirt, reflects the period’s emphasis on generous proportion and ease of use. The continuous sweep of the back and arms gives the piece a composed, unified silhouette, while the deep buttoning provides structure and definition. Traditionally upholstered using 19th-century French techniques, demonstrating skilled craftsmanship and durability typical of the period. A restrained and well-proportioned example of mid-to-late 19th-century French upholstered salon furniture.
