Inspired by the unadorned beauty of their grandfather's 19th-century wing chair - liberated from its velvet upholstery and the frame exposed - the Van Thiels replicated the Old World artistry in the French Victorian Settee. A distressed walnut frame, accented with nailheads, is complemented by the texture of burlap and fabric. This is furniture for the ages.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Frame: Handcrafted of kiln-dried hardwood with double-doweled frame, mortise-and-tenon joinery and corner-blocked joinery
• Suspension: 8-way hand-tied spring with wide jute strapping
• Feet: Crafted of hardwood
• Smoothly sanded and given a matte finish to look as they would before the final stain and polish; nicks, imperfections and natural variations in color are to be expected
• Cushions: Seat cushion is a down-blend fill; a thin foam core wrapped with 80% feathers and 20% down
• 1 seat cushion/tight back
• Upholstery: 2 layers of burlap cover the back and the rail below the seat
• Visible whipstitching and nail tacks
• Exposed tufting thread matches the color of the fabric
• Upholstery Consideration: Fabric and leather dye lots vary; pieces purchased at different times may not match exactly
