Sofa with two lacquered and gilded armchairs, Italy, 19th century
Description
Sofa with two lacquered and gilded armchairs. The backrests with foliate scrolls and fantastic animals are characteristic. The armrests, supported by a sculpture with outstretched wings of gilded swans, are curved with a central gilded geometric pattern that gives prominence to the chromatic play that this produces. The band under the seat reflects the decorations of the backrest with vegetal motifs in symmetrical harmony. The supports are arched, tapered at the ends resting on the ground.
