Striking 5-piece antique French salon suite from the late 19th century, comprising a carved walnut canapé (settee) and four bergère armchairs. The set reflects a refined blend of Louis XV and Louis XVI styles, with elegant proportions and cohesive detailing that create a balanced, inviting seating arrangement.

The suite includes two more curvaceous Louis XV–style bergères and two more structured Louis XVI–style chairs, offering subtle variation while maintaining a harmonious overall look.

All five pieces are upholstered in a rich deep red tufted fabric with subtle gold accents, adding warmth, texture, and visual depth. The carved walnut frames showcase fine craftsmanship and retain a soft, attractive patina.

Offered as a complete suite, the pieces can also be used together or separately, making them especially versatile for a range of interiors"”from formal living rooms to more relaxed, eclectic spaces.
