About the Item

Armchair Dimensions: Height: 91 cm (35.83 in) Width: 69 cm (27.17 in) Depth: 65 cm (25.59 in) Seat height: 42 cm (16.54 in) Sofa dimensions: Height: 91 cm (35.83 in) Width: 155 cm (61.02 in) Depth: 65 cm (25.59 in) Seat height: 42 cm (16.54 in) This salon seating suite, comprising a three-seater canapé and a pair of fauteuil armchairs, represents the absolute pinnacle of Austrian artistic cabinetmaking from the early 19th century. It is a masterpiece of the Vienna Empire style, masterfully blending French courtly elegance with legendary Austrian precision and stability. This unique set was created during a period when a new lifestyle, transitioning toward early Biedermeier, was taking shape in Vienna, specifically designed for the highest aristocratic circles and representative palace interiors. The foundation of the suite is an exceptionally high-quality solid spruce construction, adorned with hand-split walnut veneer featuring a deep and rich grain. An exceptional artistic detail is the precise marquetry decorating the front surfaces, emphasizing the architectural purity of the entire set. As part of a museum-quality professional restoration, the original polish was sensitively revived, restoring the woods natural semi-matte luster and depth while preserving its precious historical patina and material integrity. The suite has undergone a complete restoration of comfort, including new professional upholstery executed using traditional methods. A luxurious period-style fabric with a subtle golden pattern was selected for the cover, perfectly harmonizing in color and texture with the honey-toned walnut wood. The mechanical stability of the entire set is flawless, making it not only a visually captivating artifact but also a fully functional piece of furniture ready for immediate use. This "À la française" salon suite is a total rarity on the current antique market, both for its rare completeness and its unprecedented level of craftsmanship. It represents an exceptional investment opportunity for discerning collectors seeking uncompromising quality and a piece of history that defined the aesthetic of European noble residences following the Congress of Vienna. It has been re-polished with polyutherane piano lacquer by our professional refurbishing team in Czechia according to the original process. This item features classic Empire elements. This style, originating in 19th century France, was made to impress, with imposing character, intense symmetry and gilded ornamentation.
