About the Item

Swedish 19th Century Louis XVI/Gustavian settee featuring a painted, parcel gilt frame and gorgeous upholstery of alternating ivory and gold stripes. Note that the fabric is worn but totally acceptable to continue using if it should match one’s taste or décor. As typical of Gustavian antiques, the wood structure is painted a shade of pale gray like sea mist that is enlivened with a “running coin” motif carved into the trim, enhanced by gilt. The sheltering seat interior is tightly upholstered across the back and arms with two square, loose seat cushions for easy maintenance. The down-wrapped cushions remain plush and very comfortable to relax or converse. Fluted, tapering legs (classic Louis XVI) elevate the seat from the floor to have a regal presence in any room while keeping a relaxed atmosphere. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition; loss of paint as expected from time and use. Seat height: 21” to the crown
