The Midnight Léopard | Victorian Tufted Settee

$9,500.00

A late 19th-century Victorian settee, a form developed for structured seating within the domestic interior, where proportion and placement governed social arrangement.

The frame is defined by scrolling arms and a continuous back, articulated through deep tufting that introduces rhythm and depth across the surface. The carved wood remains legible, allowing the structure to read clearly through the upholstery. The silhouette is balanced and contained, with curvature established through line rather than excess.

The settee was refinished to clarify the tone of the wood while preserving evidence of age. Upholstery was fully replaced, introducing a textile selected for its material presence and tonal depth. The work maintains the original proportions and structural intent of the frame.

Placed in salons, dressing rooms, or interiors where seating defines position within the room.
