Single-Arm Settee / Boudoir Bench - Ivory Fabric

Product details

Seller's Notes:This vintage/antique Single-Arm Settee / Boudoir Bench is an exquisite piece of Victorian parlor furniture designed as an elegant accent for a reception area, hall, or bedroom. Structure and Woodworking: • Material: The frame is beautifully crafted in dark walnut, a popular, highly-prized wood in the Victorian era (circa 1837–1901) known for its deep color and fine grain. • Unique Asymmetry (Single-Arm): This is a key design element. It features a fully padded right arm for comfortable lounging and an open left side (without a traditional armrest). This asymmetry is typical of specific Victorian forms like a méridienne (daybed) or a smaller, multi-purpose settee meant to be placed against a wall or in a corner, offering a clear view from the open side. Upholstery and Comfort: • Upholstery: It is covered in ivory fabric, which provides a bright, luxurious contrast to the dark walnut frame. The upholstery is applied to both the front and back, meaning the piece is finished well enough to be placed away from a wall as a room divider. • Cushioned Seat Bottom: The seat itself is heavily padded for comfort, offering a soft, inviting place to sit. • Tufted Seat Back: The backrest is finished with elegant tufting (deep buttoning). This technique creates a luxurious, decorative, and durable surface by keeping the padding securely in place, another hallmark of formal Victorian seating. Dimensions: Height - 35 Arm Height - 25 Seat Height - 16 Width - 35 Depth - 18 Condition: Very good - no tears or stains, a perfect marriage of classic Victorian luxury and structural detailing.
