OBJECT RECORD Object Reference MN-HMM-11303 Classification Canapé d’apparat (Monumental Three-Seat Salon Settee) Period / Date Premier Empire / Early Restoration (Circa 1810–1820) Origin France (Parisian Imperial Workshop Tier) Primary Medium Premium Choice Flame Mahogany (Acajou Ronceux) Dimensions Height: 95 cm Width: 228 cm Depth: 70.5 cm Upholstery Status Re-upholstered in traditional horsehair textile with two matching loose bolsters CURATORIAL DESCRIPTION This monumental three-seat salon settee stands as a rare and exceptional exemplar of original preservation, boasting a structural form that is both remarkably bold and fluid. Every aspect of its ornamentation is executed with masterly precision. The defining artistic asset of this settee lies in the cabinetmaker's superlative selection and arrangement of the veneers. The craftsman purposefully utilized museum-grade flame mahogany veneers (acajou ronceux) that have been meticulously bookmatched across the entirety of the framework. By masterfully mirroring consecutive leaves of the timber fIguring, the dramatic vertical and horizontal grain patterning lines up flawlessly. Consequently, the vast expanses of the front seat rail, back crest, and arms read visually as one singular, continuous piece of timber. This technical tour de force creates tremendous visual depth, accentuating the settee's magnificent historic colour and unblemished original patina. The architectural configuration features a subtly shaped backrest, defined by an elevated solid mahogany cresting section positioned above three tightly upholstered back panels. The composition is flanked by two striking, out-scrolled cylindrical...
