  • Vesperline Collection | One-of-a-Kind Settee in Tiano Gunmetal Velvet

    Vantelle is a sculptural expression of asymmetry and intent. This turn-of-the-century settee has been restored to preserve both its original form and functional integrity. Defined by a single arm on the right when seated, its silhouette introduces directional balance that feels composed, deliberate, and quietly unexpected.

    Upholstered in Tiano Gunmetal, a printed jacquard velvet from Black Edition’s Nuala collection, the settee features a bold, irregular geometric pattern woven with metallic threads. The deep gunmetal tone provides visual depth, while the fabric’s dimensional surface shifts subtly in the light, offering a refined interplay between structure and sheen. This contemporary textile introduces contrast to the carved hardwood frame, bridging antique craftsmanship with modern design sensibility.

    The internal materials remain original. The seat shows a softened depression, formed over decades of use and preserved as part of the piece’s lived history. This reflects a curatorial approach rooted in respect for age and authenticity.

    The frame includes a carved crest rail, turned finials, and a spindle panel on the left side. Each element has been gently cleaned and lightly refinished to enhance the wood’s natural tone without obscuring its character. The result is a form that feels intact yet evolved.

    Sourced from Oxnard, a quiet seaside town in Ventura County, California, Vantelle was selected for its uncommon composition and graceful presence. Whether placed as a hallway statement, gallery anchor, or conversational focal point, it offers more than visual interest—it offers balance and intent.

    Vantelle belongs to the Vesperline Collection, a capsule of heirloom silhouettes reinterpreted through sculptural restraint and contemporary textile application. Each piece is one of one, designed for collectors, designers, and aesthetes who seek distinction through depth.

  • Upholstered in Tiano Gunmetal, a decorative jacquard velvet from Black Edition’s Nuala collection. The fabric features a small-scale geometric design woven in layered tones of charcoal, slate, bronze, and soft metallics. Its dimensional surface shifts subtly in changing light, balancing warmth and edge with a modern, structured finish.
