The Vantelle Settee | Antique Asymmetrical Settee

$7,300.00

An early 20th-century settee defined by an asymmetrical form with a single arm on the right when seated. Settees of this type were produced for interior use where seating organized movement within a space rather than anchoring a fixed position.

The frame is constructed in carved hardwood and articulated through a crest rail, turned finials, and a spindle panel at one side. The open structure allows negative space to register across the form, while turned legs terminating in original casters support movement without altering alignment. The proportions favor breadth and horizontal stability.

The internal materials remain original, including a seat depression formed through prolonged use. The surface was lightly refinished to clarify tone while preserving variation and visible wear. No changes were made to the structure or proportions.

Placed in an entry, passage, or at the foot of a bed, the settee operates through position and orientation within the room.
