FRENCH LOUIS XVI STYLE CARVED POLYCHROMED SALON SUITE
Settee and matching bergeres, ca. late 19th century
Item #607PIU19AA handsomely carved matching three piece salon suite, these were probably crafted in France during the last quarter of the 19th century. Built to last, the heavy beechwood frames are carved by hand, some carving executed directly in the solid wood of the frame, some carvings applied - i.e the top corners of the crest. The wood is then covered in a thin layer of gesso followed by a gorgeous polychromed finish of a distinctly forest green hue. Every portion of the frame is intricately and crisply executed, a series of sharp serrated acanthus and repeating laurel leaves featuring prominently throughout. The chairs and settee rest over turned tapering legs with spiral fluting over toupie feet. With a fresh fabric this set would be absolutely gorgeous - it was built to last the test of time and if well cared for will remain most treasured for generations to come.

Measurements: [settee] 43 1/2” H x 25 1/4” D x 56” W; 20” H to seat; [arm chairs] 43” H x 23 1/2” D x 27 1/2” W; 20” H to seat

ABOUT US:
Established in 2009, Silla Fine Antiques is owned and operated by Andrew and Grace Silla with their small team in a 4800 sq. ft. private gallery in Shippensburg, PA. Thelarge collection of fine art and furniture from the eighteenth through twentieth centuries is selected for it\'s form, aesthetic excellence, purity of structure and overall fine condition - they are objects that have always been valued and cared for. With a specialization in French furnishings from the Louis XV period through the Bell Epoqué and bronze sculpture from 1860 through 1930, hundreds of carefully documented pieces are always available in the shop. French bronze sculpture is a passion and each piece is curated for it’s moving subject matter, perfect foundry work and chiseling detail, and the degree to which the work is a photographic representation of it’s subject. Additionally, a large collection offine period English and American furniture of the late 18th and early 19th centuries is also on display.Most items in the shop are fully catalogued and can be viewed by clicking here.
Visiting Our ShopWe welcome your visit at our shop! All visits are by appointment but for the most part we are always in the shop Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9a-5:30p with visits on Monday/Friday and weekends by appointment. Conveniently located close to the turnpike, the building is just 7 miles off of Route 76’s Blue Mountain exitat the junction of Weaver Rd. and Roxbury Rd at 5704 Roxbury Rd., Shippensburg, PA 17257 - when you pull in, just look for our sign on the building at the far right. Because we market our collection primarily online, the building is set up for perfect humidity and temperature controls, free of almost all sunlight exposure or excessive dust.
Buying OnlineOver the past few years, the fine arts and antiques business has shifted much of the sale process for finer works to the internet. By 2013, more than 90% of our clients completed their purchase almost entirely online, the item only physically seen at time of delivery. While this might seem risky for a new client, in our experience we\'ve found that a carefully catalogued and clearly photographed presentation of all angles on an item is a more accurate and less distracting way to evaluate a piece than to visit it in person.Because lighting is clear and awkward angles are made comfortable, differences in oxidization become noteworthy and close ups bring out the handcrafted nature of objects. It is difficult to turn a tall chest upside down in a cramped antique store to examine for alteration, repairs and replacements but it is imperative to do so prior to purchasing!In 2013 we began including high-resolution UV photography with all newly acquired paintings, allowing you to see clearly the history of the surface: repairs, light touch ups, age of the varnish layer and loss. We have worked hard to ensure each object is catalogued thoroughly in advance so you can completely inspect what you are interested in from the comfort of your home.

Return shipping is the buyer’s responsibility and the returned item must be received in original condition within 15 days of return authorization. Items arriving past the 15-day return window will be offered a store credit for the purchase price less a 20% restocking fee and packing/shipping costs incurred.International and layaway purchases are not eligible for return.
PAYMENT:Payment is expected within 10 days of purchase. Preferred payment method is PayPal, but we can also accept personal check, wire transfer, MasterCard and VISA on domestic phone orders. We offer layaway on a case by case basis with 20% down and equal payments monthly until the item is paid off. Click here for more details regarding layaways.
SALES TAX:Sales tax of 6% is collected on purchases by residents of Pennsylvania and any buyer picking up items locally at our shop. For clients arranging their own delivery, items must be collected by a licensed interstate carrier in order to be exempt from sales tax.
SHIPPING:We professionally package all small items that can safely ship via FedEx, USPS, UPS and DHL for free and guarantee a safe delivery.
FREIGHT AND WHITE GLOVE DELIVERY (DOMESTIC):Most furniture is pre-quoted for economical curbside delivery anywhere in the lower 48 States* via common freight carrier, generally arriving to most locations in 10-15 business days. Theitem is professionally packaged in-house, palletized and shipped on a tractor trailer - the pre-quote does not include lift-gate service but that service can be added for an additional $65. We generally recommend a lift-gate for shipments with a total weight over 150 lbs, but this is entirely at the buyer’s discretion. Buyers are notified by the carrier of the delivery date and must make arrangements to receive and inspect the goods (goods left unattended at a residence may not qualify for insurance coverage in the event of damage). Buyers are responsible for unpacking, moving the item into their home and disposing of all packing materials without assistance from the driver.* Some areas do not qualify for pre-quoted shipments, including residences with ferry-access, ultra-rural locations, or locations with truck access issues. It is very rare, but we reserve the right to disqualify an address from a pre-quote upon notification of your delivery address; in these situations, we will offer to cancel the order for you, see if a pickup at the nearest freight terminal is a practical option, revise a quote for your approval or offer a quote from a different carrier for your approval.Some items are not pre-quoted and will require a formal shipping quote.Contact us with your delivery address and phone number for a quote within 24 hours.“White Glove\" two-man indoor delivery is available - contact us for a quote from Plycon. Plycon offers a professional and convenient white-glove delivery service that will bring the item into the ground floor room of your choice,unpackage it for your inspection and remove all packing materials. If you select their service, they will contact you directly for payment and insurance election. This service generally costs $350-550 plus insurance depending on the location and shipment size; delivery generally takes 6-8 weeks.
FREIGHT DELIVERY (CANADA):We now offer curbside shipments via common freight carrier to much of Canada! Contact us with your delivery address and two phone numbers for a quote. Buyers are responsible for arranging a customs broker and paying all customs/taxes/destination fees where applicable.
IN THE EVENT OF DAMAGE:Damage is incredibly rare. We prepare and pack every item in-house at Silla Fine Antiques and as a result see damage very infrequently. However, we understand thedisappointment that can occur in this unlikely event and will work hard to help you through the situation.Damage for items shipped with USPS, UPS, FedEx or DHL must be reported to us within 24 hours of signature confirmed delivery. We will require the buyer to send us photographs of the packaging and the damage to the item. The buyer will be required to have the item safely packaged again and mailed back to our shop with a pre-paid label. Once we safely receive the item, a refund will be made for the original purchase price plus any shipping via the original payment method.For pre-quoted common freight carrier shipments, the buyer or representative of the buyer is responsible for being available at time of delivery to inspect the packaging and item for damage - under no circumstances should the item be refused, as doing so will void the insurance coverage. In the event of damage, call us immediately and note all damage on the bill of lading while the driver is still present take detailed pictures of the damaged packaging and item, send those images to us and we will assist you in filing the claim andworking through the process. Concealed damage must be reported within 24 hours of delivery. In most cases, a representative of theinsurance firm will need to inspect the item and packaging so be sure to retain all packing materials. The insurance provider and carrier reserve a \"right to repair\" a damaged item to industry standard. We do work hard to move claims along as quickly as possible, but please note that claims and/or repairs will be settled with the insurance company and carrier prior to any payout to the buyer.For shipments with Plycon or any other carrier the buyer selects and pays directly, the terms of that carrier\'s insurance coverage will apply to the shipment and the buyer will be responsible for working through the claim process with the carrier. We are happy to provide paperwork or any other required documentation to assist in the claim process.
