  • Crimson Canopy: A Collector’s Pair of 19th-Century Recliners

    Crimson Canopy is a masterful union of old-world grandeur and understated comfort, wrapped in embroidered splendor and steeped in historical reverence. This rare pair of antique reclining chairs features finely hand-carved wood frames, their elegant curves and floral flourishing concealing a discreet spring-back mechanism that allows the backrests to recline with quiet grace.

    Upholstered in Broderie La Rocher by Pierre Frey, the fabric reinterprets an 18th-century Tree of Life motif, an emblem born of Indian origin and reimagined through French design. Woven in a palette of crimson, chestnut, soft rose, and sky blue, the textile carries centuries of cultural exchange, spiritual symbolism, and artistic evolution. Within its branches and blossoms lie more than ornament; it is devotion, a botanical narrative rendered in threads.

    The effect is both sculptural and sensual, and historic forms are reimagined through couture upholstery and gentle functionality. Ideal for curated lounges, refined libraries, or interiors shaped by narrative and nuance, Crimson Canopy invites pause and presence. A rare collector’s pairing, it honors legacy, comfort, and the art of living with beautiful things.

  • Broderie Le Rocher by Pierre Frey is embroidered in a richly layered palette that blends warm reds, soft pinks, earthy browns, and light blues into a balanced, expressive composition. The reds and pinks introduce vibrancy and warmth, while the brown tones offer grounded sophistication. Accents of blue provide cool contrast and visual depth, making this textile versatile across a wide range of interior applications—from refined accent seating to statement panels.
