3-Seat Louis XV Gilded Salon Sofa – Champagne Velvet
Royal Inspiration: The Louis XV Salon Sofa
Born from the grandeur of 18th-century French royal courts, this 3-seat salon sofa captures the essence of Louis XV Rococo design. Its sinuous, asymmetric silhouette, curved crest rail adorned with a hand-carved rose and acanthus cartouche, and elegantly scrolled arms speak the language of aristocratic refinement. Brass & Wood revives this timeless aesthetic with uncompromising fidelity, handcrafting each piece in Egypt by master artisans who carry on generations of classical woodworking tradition.
Materials & Finish
The sofa's solid wood frame is meticulously finished in genuine gold leaf, producing a warm, luminous gilded surface that deepens with light and shadow. The sweeping cabriole legs — a hallmark of the Louis XV period — are carved with foliate detailing and flow naturally from the ornate apron rail. The seat, back, and inner arms are upholstered in a soft champagne velvet fabric, its subtle tone-on-tone texture catching the light with quiet opulence. Five complementary scatter cushions in olive velvet, jewel-toned botanical print, and chevron-striped fabric complete the look.
Craftsmanship
Every curve, every carved motif, and every gilded surface on this sofa is shaped entirely by hand. Brass & Wood's artisans use traditional hand-carving techniques to render the intricate floral crest and foliate apron, while multiple layers of hand-applied gold leaf create a finish of authentic depth and richness. The upholstery is hand-stretched and secured to ensure lasting precision and elegance.
Styling & Placement
This statement piece is designed for living rooms, formal salons, and distinguished reception spaces. Its warm gold finish pairs effortlessly with marble flooring, ornate rugs, and classical wall sconces, while its champagne upholstery offers a neutral yet luxurious canvas that complements both bold and muted colour palettes. Customisation of fabric, finish, and cushion selection is available upon request through Brass & Wood.
