Know before you buy
The seat height is 14.5 inches. While this is slightly lower than a standard modern sofa, it is consistent with the authentic proportions of an 18th-century French design, making it ideal for conversation areas or entryways.
The settee is upholstered in 100% linen from Cowtan & Tout. While linen is a high-quality, breathable natural fiber, it is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas to maintain the integrity of the delicate floral pattern.
Yes, the settee is designed with a 56-inch width, providing comfortable seating for two people. It is perfectly sized for intimate seating arrangements or as a decorative accent piece.
We recommend professional cleaning for the linen upholstery to preserve the fabric's texture and color. The solid wood frame can be kept in good condition by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading.
No, this settee is strictly for indoor use. The natural linen fabric and wood construction are not treated to withstand outdoor elements like moisture or direct UV exposure.
