About the Item

An exquisite mid-19th century French Napoleon III chaise longue, sourced in Provence. Carefully revised by our workshop for structural integrity, it retains its authentic character with the original ebonized legs and vibrant golden-yellow upholstery. The fabric is a richly textured velvet, woven with a raised lattice of stylized fleur-de-lis motifs that shimmer subtly with changes in light, enhancing both depth and dimension. Finished with cord trim and a traditional bullion fringe, the upholstery embodies the refinement of French decorative arts of the period. Both paint and fabric remain original, showing graceful signs of age consistent with use, which only heighten its antique charm. The silhouette presents a refined balance of comfort and sculptural presence, with an elegantly contoured backrest, scrolled arms, and corded detailing, set above turned ebonized legs discreetly framed by the fringe skirt. A rare find with exceptional provenance, this piece exemplifies French craftsmanship and timeless design, serving as a statement accent for a sitting room, bedroom, or powder room. - Origin: Provence, France - Period: Mid 19th Century - Materials: Hardwood, Velvet, Bullion fringe skirt, Paint - Dimensions: W 64" x D 32" x H 34.25"; Seat interior: W 53.5" x D 21.5" x H 16.5"; Arm height 22.5" - Condition: Structurally restored and stable.
