Louis XVI Style Canapé Corbeille in Painted Wood, 18th Century

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
This elegant canapé corbeille exemplifies the refined comfort and graceful proportions of Louis XVI–style seating. The softly rounded, basket-form back creates an inviting silhouette, designed to envelop the sitter while maintaining a light, architectural presence. The frame is finished in a subtle gray patina with delicate green undertones, allowing the carved details to read softly rather than formally. Upholstered in a pale green damask silk, the sofa retains a gentle sheen that complements the aged finish of the wood. A generously proportioned loose cushion enhances comfort while preserving the original aesthetic. The seat rests on six finely fluted legs, providing both stability and visual rhythm, and reflecting the neoclassical emphasis on symmetry and balance. This canapé is ideal for use in a salon, bedroom, or entry, offering a sophisticated accent that blends decorative appeal with functional seating. A charming and timeless piece suited to both classical and layered interiors.
