At Fontainebleau, the French court's palace in the forest outside Paris, life in the grand rooms revolved around visiting: guests were received, news was traded and calls were paid. This settee was made for that kind of company. Its caned back keeps the piece light to the eye, the cushioned linen seat makes it a comfortable place to talk, and padded arm rests give each person a place to settle a hand.
The frame is hardwood in a soft grey-washed finish, and the cane is woven by hand. Below the seat the legs are fluted, with fine grooves that run down their length in the Louis XVI manner, and they taper toward the floor. At just under four feet wide it seats two, at 39 lbs it is light enough to move from room to room, and it is rated to hold 500 lbs.
Set it in an entry with room to sit and pull on boots, in a living room as the place for a visit, or along one side of a dining table in place of two chairs. This listing is for one settee.
