About the Item

A French Récamier style carved-wood daybed from the early 20th century. This antique backless sofa bench from France is flanked within two highly raised arm rests, of equal heights, and having shapely forms with lovely volute scrolled tops, and wood carved in a floral motif. Both sides of the arms are upholstered, as is the seat, with the addition of a large cushion and pair of bolster pillows at either end. The apron is carved about three sides with a twisted ribbon and lamb's tongue trim. Framed rosettes are carved at each corner, above the four petite legs, which are rounded and carved with chandelle accents around their perimeters. This daybed retains its original painted finish. Note that there are some missing carvings on the legs. The fabric is worn in some areas; giving an opportunity to refresh this piece with fabric to compliment your personal style. This French Récamier, circa 1920, will be a perfectly elegant lounging retreat for your master bedroom, living room, or study.
