Lot 521: * Louis XVI Style Lacquered Canapé Vallois

Louis XVI Style Lacquered Canapé Vallois A sophisticated Louis XVI style two seater canapé, hand carved in solid beechwood and finished in a light hand painted lacquer that accentuates its architectural restraint. The Vallois model is defined by its gently cambered back, straight fluted legs and delicate ribbon and bead moulding that outlines the frame. Built using traditional French upholstery with leaf fibre trimming over helical springs, the sofa features two generous loose cushions and fully upholstered arms in pale Casal fabric. An elegant example of late eighteenth century Neoclassical revival furniture, measuring 83 cm high, 143 cm wide and 58 cm deep. [Loc FR675]
