VINTAGE  ·  ANGLO-INDIAN STYLE  ·  EBONISED HARDWOOD

A striking vintage Anglo-Indian style settee in carved ebonised hardwood, with a pierced floral crest, sweeping scroll arms and woven natural cane panels.

Honey-toned cane contrasts with the deep black finish, bringing out the outline of the shaped back and arms. At 210 cm wide, the settee has the scale to anchor an entrance hall, conservatory or drawing room, while the openwork crest and cane panels give it a lighter silhouette.

Craftsmanship & Design

The shaped back rises to a pierced crest of scrolling leaves and stylised flowers. The carving continues along the upper rail and onto the outward sweeping arms, which end in bold scrolls centred on floral rosettes.

Three individually framed cane panels fill the back, with a rectangular central panel flanked by two shaped outer panels. Further cane work follows the curves beneath the arms, carrying the contrast between the warm cane and dark timber around the sides.

Across the front, large floral medallions and curling foliage are carved in deep relief. The floral detail continues onto the cabriole-style legs, which are linked by low turned stretchers.

Seat & Upholstery

Fitted timber panels form the seat, which is shown without a loose cushion. A cushion made to fit in linen or velvet would soften the seat and introduce a fabric of your choice.
