Five-Piece Louis XVI-Style Giltwood Parlor Suite, late 19th century, consisting of a settee and four sidechairs, the settee with an elongated shield-form back padded and surmounted by a floral ribband crest, joined by padded imbricate-carved arms to the padded seat, raised on spiral-fluted circular legs ending in toupie feet, h. 48-1/2", w. 66", d. 24", the chairs with padded shield-form backs, and like crests, the seats raised on like legs, h. 40".

In overall very good condition. Retaining what appears to be the original gilt surface, with no touch-ups noted. The gilt exhibits scattered rubbing, small losses revealing the underlying gesso and other surface imperfections throughout. Most notably losses at the bottom of the legs. Dirty. No breaks or repairs to the legs noted. All pieces are tight and appear to be structurally sound. The upholstery is worn at its perimeter edges, and generally threadbare at the front corners of the seats.
