French Empire Salon Set After Jean Francois Bellange

This three piece salon set is designed in the pure early 19thC French Empire style. The finely carved frames are simple in design and feature rosettes palmettes and acanthus. The arms and front legs of each piece join in a gilded ball. The gold leafing to the entire frames is still in very good condition. The furniture likely dates from the mid 19thC. The design and construction of the set is very similar to the work of Francois Bellange (born 1744 died 1818) whose work can be found in major royal residences in France and Europe and also in the White House in Washington D.C. The set is upholstered in an empire style green silk which shows some wear but could be cleaned.
