This 71-inch canapé is a sophisticated exploration of the French Provincial form, dating to the mid-century revival. Unlike standard decorative settees, this piece possesses the scale of a full sofa, offering a substantial architectural presence. The frame features the original 1950s flyspeck finish"”a technical application designed to create depth and artificial patina within the hand-carved moldings.

The piece has been re-upholstered and refined for modern utility. The original 100% down core was preserved and augmented in 2026 for maximum loft, resulting in a plush, sink-in comfort that serves as a deliberate counterpoint to the frame's minimalist, delicate serpentine flow.

It comes with 2 handmade by Glosmem, dense down sofa cushion throw pillows for back support and optimal comfort. Each zippered, removable cover's. The Modern adaption poly-cotton log cabin plaid was designer fabric from a Hinsdale, IL primitive collector's home, and the poly-cotton cream-colored Moire fabric was doubled so that it has fantastic water-like movement and structure. Each 22 × 22.
