The cabriole legs have acanthus-carved knees and scroll feet. The arm terminals of the fauteuils curve outward with a naturalness that only skilled hand carving can achieve. The gilt finish has the warmth of genuine age — not the hard brightness of new gold, but the soft, honeyed tone that comes from a century of light and air settling into water gilt. The needlework tapestry upholstery is the defining feature of the suite: each seat and back panel carries a hand-worked floral bouquet - roses, tulips, peonies, and smaller blooms tied with a blue silk ribbon - executed in tent stitch on a warm cream ground. This is not printed fabric. It is not machine woven. Every stitch was placed by hand, and the result - a century later - is still vivid, still precise, still beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Lee Hawkins, Hawkins Antiques · Est. 1960\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hawkins Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57192961540473,"sku":null,"price":1400.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/6633\/8937\/files\/giltwoodsuiteshopifyimage.jpg?v=1777646344"},{"product_id":"antique-french-painted-giltwood-love-seat-sofa-circa-1910","title":"Antique French Painted Giltwood Boudoir Chair Sofa, circa 1910","description":"\u003ch3\u003eOverview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA charming and beautifully proportioned antique French painted and parcel-gilt boudoir chair sofa - an intimate, decorative single seat in the Louis XV taste, circa 1910, designed for the private apartment rather than the formal reception room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrench Louis XV taste, circa 1910\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIvory painted frame with parcel-gilt highlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarved floral cartouche to the centre apron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlender cabriole legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeep-buttoned salmon-pink velvet upholstery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass stud detailing throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsmanship \u0026amp; Detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is painted ivory white with parcel-gilt highlights to the mouldings, slender cabriole legs, and a carved floral cartouche to the centre apron - a combination that gives the piece its characteristic French lightness and refinement.
