About the Item

An elegant canapé sofa crafted in polished beech, dating to the Louis XVI period. The piece is distinguished by its light, refined proportions and a beautifully curved, continuous backrest. The shaped armrests terminate in graceful swan-neck scrolls and flow into finely fluted details, culminating in delicately carved acanthus motifs. The legs are gently tapered and joined by cross stretchers, providing both structural integrity and a sophisticated architectural expression. A particularly fine and well-proportioned example of Danish craftsmanship from the late 18th century, likely made in Copenhagen. The sofa has been newly upholstered in an exclusive Sahco Hesslein fabric in a muted green tone from the Lavello collection, perfectly complementing its timeless elegance. Denmark, c. 1780–1790
