The Blanchette Linen Louis XV-Style Settee

A Louis XV-style chair-and-a-half, wide and deep and shaped like a soft barrel. The oak frame is wire-brushed and limed, so the open grain holds a pale white wax against warm brown wood. A serpentine crest rail dips and rises across the back, touched with small carved scrolls, and rolls down at each end into a big carved spiral at the arm.

The upholstery is an oatmeal linen-blend with a fine crosshatch weave and matching piping along every edge. The back curves round into the arms in one continuous line, so it holds you on three sides, and a single loose cushion sits deep at 23.5 inches. Small padded rests sit just behind each scroll. Short cabriole front legs end in carved scroll feet.

At 39 inches wide it is more than a chair and less than a sofa: room for one to curl up with a book, or two to sit close. Set it in a bedroom corner, by a window, or at the end of a long room.

Pale, quiet and soft to the touch, it brings the calm of a French country house to any room.

In good pre-owned condition, with a few small marks to the linen on the seat cushion and outside back, and light wear to the frame finish. Offered at the Organic Erotic exclusive price of $750.
