This exquisite little "canapé corbeille" (basket sofa) takes its name from its rounded shape. Created during the reign of Louis XV, this type of sofa was part of the quest for comfort and intimacy during this period. Rather feminine, the corbeille sofa was placed in the "boudoirs" and near the fireplaces of 18th century salons. Its relatively small size made it easy to move around, which is why it is upholstered and moulded on all sides, so that it looks elegant from any angle.
This one has been reupholstered in a very delicate blue velvet and adorned with two cushions.
You probably don't have a fireplace, but it will look great in an entrance hall or in front of a window, for instance.
