The Rue de Cléry Sentinel Canapé is offered in this Demay tradition: twin lion masks, carved in the round rather than cast and applied, stand sentinel over gently scrolled arms. Fluted, tapering legs descend to hand-carved paw feet, each seat-rail corner marked by a carved rosette patera, the front rail bowed in the true Empire manner. The back and seat are upholstered in a fine diamond-lattice weave, framed edge to edge in carved wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere most Empire ateliers reached for gilt bronze, Demay carved his ornament directly into the wood, a discipline this solid teak sofa continues. Our master craftsmen hand-carve it within The Collectors' Anglo-Indian workshop tradition, teak standing in for the historical mahogany. It is offered as a canapé attributed to and in the lineage of Demay's documented Empire seating, not a reproduction of any single surviving example.\u003cbr\u003eA formal settee for a drawing room, library, or grand entrance hall: Napoleonic Paris, carved anew in solid teak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial \u003c\/strong\u003e– Teak wood and premium fabric\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions in Inches\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Length: 84\u003cbr\u003e Depth: 28\u003cbr\u003e Height: 40\u003cbr\u003e Seat Height: 18\u003cbr\u003e Seat Depth: 22\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery Timeline\u003c\/strong\u003e - Every piece from The Collectors is crafted to order.
