High bid $450.00

Status: Sold

An elaborately carved Louis XV–style upholstered canapé/sofa, likely of carved hardwood with gilt-highlighted floral ornament, presented in a warm yellow-and-ivory striped damask. The arched, camelback-form back is crowned by a centered floral crest and flanked by finial-topped uprights, the scrolling openwork arms terminating in voluted handrests with carved foliate reserves. The seat is arranged with three loose cushions over a tailored, piped apron finished with decorative gimp, set above a shaped frieze enriched with applied floral-and-leaf carving and selective gilding. Raised on turned, tapering legs with carved collars, the piece offers the graceful serpentine line associated with Rococo-inspired salon seating. The textile’s repeating medallion and lattice bands reinforce the period-revival character, making it well-suited to formal sitting rooms, grand entries, or traditional interiors. Web comparables indicate retail asking levels for similar carved-walnut Louis XV–style sofas in damask or patterned upholstery commonly in the mid–four-figure range, with examples frequently offered around $3,500–$6,000 depending on carving quality, upholstery, and attribution.
