Louis XVI 5-Seat Gilded Salon Sofa – Sage Damask Brocade

Royal Inspiration: The Louis XVI Salon Sofa

Rooted in the elegance of 18th-century French court design, this 5-seat salon sofa by Brass & Wood captures the refined spirit of the Louis XVI era. Its gently arched backrest, symmetrical silhouette, and precisely carved cresting rail echo the neoclassical discipline that defined Versailles at its most refined. Every curve is measured; every ornamental detail intentional.

Materials & Upholstery

The sofa frame is built from solid fine hardwood and lavishly hand-gilded in warm gold leaf, producing the characteristic luminous finish of authentic period furniture. The seating surface, back, and armrests are upholstered in a sage-green damask brocade woven with rose-gold floral and arabesque motifs, offering both visual richness and durable elegance. Four large square cushions and two cylindrical bolsters — each adorned with hand-knotted silk tassels and fabric rosettes — complete the regal presentation.

Craftsmanship & Detail

Crafted by the master artisans of Brass & Wood in Egypt, this sofa showcases fluted and tapered legs, a rope-twist gilt apron, and a hand-carved floral crest at the top rail. The armrests are sculpted with acanthus-leaf terminals and supported by carved column supports — all finished in matching gold leaf. The result is a piece that functions as both functional seating and a statement work of art.

Placement & Styling

This 5-seat sofa anchors a grand living room, formal reception, or palatial salon with effortless authority. Pair it with coordinating armchairs from the same collection for a fully unified neoclassical ensemble. Customisation in fabric, finish, and size is available upon request from Brass & Wood.
