Now this is something you don't find every day. Found inside the walls of Avignon, where it had stood for generations in a grand estate, this 19th-century French pedestal is wrapped in real velvet, applied directly to the painted wood column in the urn-and-floral pattern of the Louis XVI revival. The deep oxblood velvet forms the main pattern, with paler rose-pink velvet used to accent the petals and leaves, and the technique was a luxury finish reserved for grand interiors where furniture and walls were treated as a single decorative scheme. Sylvie places it in a corner of a living room with a tall vase of flowering quince branches that brush the ceiling.
