19th Century French Louis XIV Whitewashed Canape with Rams' Heads was sculpted from select French walnut, and features a timeless neoclassical design that dates back to the glory of ancient Greece and Rome.  Unusual raised inverse corbels adorn the seatback cornerposts topped with lions' heads, with a stunningly carved stretcher connecting the legs below for added strength and longevity.  What is most striking, however, are the rams' heads on the ends of the armrests, sculpted to an incredible degree of artistry!
NEWLY UPHOLSTERED in a pleasing neutral fabric with double piping!
Circa 1870s
