Know before you buy
The chaise has been recently reupholstered in a high-quality Schumacher Charee silk stripe fabric. It is in excellent condition and ready for immediate use.
As an authentic 19th-century piece, the chaise offers a firm, supportive sit rather than a plush, sink-in feel. It is designed primarily as a sophisticated statement piece for lounging or reading.
The chaise measures 26.5 inches wide by 55.5 inches deep, with an overall height of 35.25 inches. The seat height is 13.25 inches, which is slightly lower than a standard modern sofa.
Yes, the frame is crafted from solid mahogany and reflects the architectural lines and craftsmanship typical of the 19th-century French Empire period.
Because it is upholstered in 100% silk, we recommend keeping the chaise out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. For cleaning, professional upholstery care is advised to maintain the integrity of the silk fibers.
While the mahogany frame is durable, the silk upholstery is a delicate material. It is best suited for a formal living room, bedroom, or study where it can be appreciated as a focal point rather than in a high-traffic family room.
