Louis XV sofa in walnut, attributed to Sébastien Carpantier (1770)

Large walnut sofa, resting on eight arched legs, carved with flowers at the connection of the crosspieces. These are nicely scalloped and also adorned with flowers against a background of foliage.
The rounded backrest is embellished with two large foliated flowers sculpted in high relief.
The rigorous sense of proportions, the balance of forms, the quality of the sculptures, the depth of the mouldings, the famous "coup de fouet" of the consoles clearly underline the characteristics of the Lyon seats of the 18th century
