About this product
This antique French Louis XVI corbeille sofa in gold velvet features a gilt beechwood frame and tufted upholstery. It is an original piece from 1960, measuring 47 inches long, 20 inches wide, and 33 inches high. The seat depth is 20 inches with a seat height of 20 inches, and it has a high back and classic round arms.
Our take
This tufted gold velvet settee is pure opulence—the corbeille shape is rare, and the gilt frame is beautifully preserved. Being a 1960 original, it has a historical feel that modern reproductions miss. The tufting is well-executed, and the high back provides good support. At 20 inches deep, it's comfortable for sitting but not lounging. The narrow width means it's really a single seat, though listed as a two-seater. For $2,700, you're paying for authenticity and design. If you have a formal living room or entryway, this will be the focal point. Just don't expect to host movie nights on it.
