A vintage Louis XVI-style sofa with an exposed carved wood frame, upholstered in an original striped cut velvet of forest green, olive, chartreuse and fine cream lines. Two round chartreuse velvet bolsters, gathered into sunbursts at each end, rest against the arms.

The walnut-toned frame carries a soft, speckled antique finish. Across the top, the crest rail rises and dips in a shallow double curve around a square centre block, carved with a small fan and two acanthus scrolls. The open arms are the showpiece: under each curved arm rail sits a pierced rococo panel of C-scrolls and leaves around an oval cartouche, framed by shaped balusters and a fluted, turned front post. Three fluted, tapered legs run across the front, with plain splayed legs behind.

The back is one long striped panel, with two loose seat cushions below and an upholstered front rail edged in a looped velvet border. At just under six feet long it fits a city living room, a library wall or the end of a bedroom.

The green stripes glow against dark wood, plaster and linen. The sofa brings colour, pattern and old-world carving into a room all at once.

Vintage, in good condition, with wear consistent with age: some crushing and fading to the velvet, a few marks on the bolsters, and small chips and worn finish on the carving, arm tops and leg blocks. Offered at the Organic Erotic exclusive price of $1,250.
