5-Seat Louis XV Gilded Salon Sofa – Gold Carved Frame

Design Inspiration

This magnificent 5-seat salon sofa draws its soul from the golden age of French Rococo under King Louis XV. Every curve of the serpentine back, every swoop of the cabriolet arm, and the flamboyant floral cartouche cresting the backrest speak to an era that elevated comfort and ornament to high art. Brass & Wood reimagines this timeless silhouette, handcrafting it in Egypt for the contemporary palace interior.

Materials & Finish

The structural frame is built from solid hardwood, meticulously hand-carved by master craftsmen, then finished with a rich gold-leaf gilding that captures light with warm, luminous depth. The generous seat and back are upholstered in a soft, tone-on-tone beige velvet whose subtle texture complements the splendour of the gilded frame without competing with it.

Craftsmanship

Each piece passes through the hands of Brass & Wood's dedicated artisans — carvers, gilders, and upholsterers — who apply traditional techniques passed down through generations. The carved floral crest at the top rail, the cabriole legs with scrolled toe details, and the apron's relief motifs are all executed by hand, ensuring that no two sofas are absolutely identical.

Styling Notes

Pair with matching armchairs and a gilded centre table to create a cohesive Louis XV salon ensemble. The neutral beige velvet works beautifully against warm-toned marble floors, Aubusson rugs, or parquet, making this sofa the undisputed focal point of any formal living room.
