French Louis XVI Style Painted & Canework Day Bed - Canapé Corbeille

20th Century | Sourced in the South of France

An exquisite 20th-century French Louis XVI style day bed, featuring elegant caned panelling and a softly distressed, painted finish in a subtle sea-green / celadon hue.

Crafted with sweeping, curved sides (corbeille style) and classic Neoclassical detailing, the carved frame is adorned with ribbon-twist moulding, floral rosette blocks, and central acanthus leaf carving along the top rail. The piece stands on six spiralled / stop-fluted turned supports, providing exceptional structure and authentic visual weight.

Provenance & Romance

Discovered nestled in an estate near the sun-drenched coast of the South of France, this piece embodies the effortless elegance of traditional Provencal living. Crafted around Circa 1910 in homage to 18th-century royal French furniture design, it served as a peaceful lounging piece in a sunlit bastide, capturing the breezy, timeless warmth of the French countryside.

Key Features & Details

  • Panelling: Natural woven cane panels across the back and enclosed sides, all in excellent structural condition.

  • Supports: Raised on 6 turned and fluted supports (4 corner posts and 2 central stabilizing legs).
