Shanghai Deco Hardwood Settee
Shanghai Deco Hardwood Settee
China, ca. 1920s or 1930s. An unusual settee in what is often referred to as the Shanghai Deco style. Features sturdy hongmu rosewod construction with lyrical curved back and arms. Delicately carved vertical supports feature a stylized geometric pattern with floral elements. Three wide supports are each inset with white hard stone - a traditional detail in Chinese furniture. Cabriole legs enhance the overall sinuous feel.
Perfect for a hallway, foyer, landing, or even at the foot of one’s bed.
Sensitively refurbished, the condition is excellent - with a rich dark finish to the wood. Brand new eversible seat cushion is upholstered in a soft ivory Belgian linen.
