Important walnut gondola sofa, between the Empire and Louis Philippe styles. 207 w x 65 d x 104 h.
Description:
Important and original walnut gondola sofa to be restored and reupholstered. It comes from the Reggio Emilia area and dates back to the early 1800s. The piece of furniture is characterized by both the Louis Philippe and Empire styles, visible in its majesty associated with harmony and practicality in the decorative arts; smooth and balanced in the portions. Note the sinuous and sober shapes of the armrests and backrest, the elegant and refined elements carved in the wood and that surround it depicting natural symbols (leaves), the splendid design in the center of the backrest, the "imposing" feet that resemble a castle and the careful and fine ornamental line that divides the lower part. It is a true masterpiece with a refined and imaginative style; a precious piece of furniture with an aristocratic appearance.
