1900 French Pair Duchesse Brisee – Set of 2

Description

A beautiful duchesse brisée, a style of furniture developed during the reign of Louis XV for intimate salon settings. This versatile piece serves several purposes, either as a luxurious chaise lounge for a single individual or as “His and Hers” seating. The wood frame is free of excessive ornamentation; the beauty of this piece lies in its smooth lines and graceful curves. The arms of both sections curl into delicate knuckles, and the seat rails flow seamlessly into elegant cabriole legs. Both seats are upholstered in a cool mint-green velvet with matching trim.
France, Circa 1900.
