Antique Empire Style Kissing Corner
The term “Empire” refers in this case to the period in which Napoleon Bonaparte ruled France. Furniture from this period was typified by its use of straight lines and craftsmanship that is sturdier than pieces from other periods in French history. The chief material for furniture of this period was mahogany, both solid and in veneer. The types of design are of two kinds, one the Egyptian, the other the Classical. Both motives are so intermixed as to be difficult to distinguish from each other. This incredible piece is one of the most amazing antiques we have ever seen. Gorgeous from top to bottom this piece is a one of a kind treasure and you will never see its equal. Made from exquisite dark mahogany this piece was made to last. The first thing one notices when you see this piece is its sheer size. At over seven feet tall, this piece becomes the center of whatever room in which it is placed. The striped velour upholstery jumps out in vibrant shades of crimson and green. This upholstery is found on the seat as well as behind a glass display that is meant for pictures or other papers. The two decorative outer wings feature two vestigial drawers that add to the appearance of this wonderful piece. Two actual drawers flank the seat and have beautiful brass hardware. The upper section of this magnificent piece has four cabinets, which feature several panes of hand-beveled glass. These would be perfect for storing collectables or other valuables. This unique piece makes a definitive statement of style and charm. You are sure to love it no matter what setting in which it is employed.
