About the Item

Elegant Neoclassical-style settee featuring a painted wood frame with exceptional carved detailing and rich bottle green silk velvet upholstery. The velvet is edged in an intricate decorative trim that accentuates the clean, classical lines of the piece. Each arm is adorned with finely carved Egyptian female busts—an iconic neoclassical symbol of wisdom and antiquity—adding sculptural sophistication and historic allure. The frame’s soft, timeworn white finish contrasts beautifully with the deep green velvet, highlighting both color and form. Supported by tapered legs terminating in paw feet, this settee embodies the symmetry and grandeur of 18th-century design. A refined and distinctive statement piece, perfect for a foyer, salon, or elegant living space. Minor paint loss and a small age-related split on one rear leg, consistent with wear and character of an antique piece; stable and secure overall.
