Mustard Napoleon III Loveseat

We spotted her in Avignon, and just as we reached out, she was gone - claimed by someone quicker. A few shameless pleas and some back-and-forth later, we walked away victorious. There was no way we were letting this one slip. A true Napoleon III-era loveseat, draped in deep mustard velvet with that perfect fringe skirting, she embodies the opulence of the Second French Empire (1852–1870). This was the era of plush interiors, where furniture took on a softer, more decadent form, sumptuous upholstery, low profiles, and a nod to the past wrapped in modern comfort. The rich mustard hue, deep and moody, is straight from the 19th-century palette, a favorite in Parisian salons and drawing rooms of the time.
