At OE-FASHION Furniture, design is an exercise in restraint and precision. The Bespoke Hand-Carved Velvet & Tapestry Sofa is constructed to offer a lasting foundation of style, balancing architectural lines with tactile comfort.

Aesthetic Overview & Proportions

This piece articulates the exuberance of the Rococo Revival style through its serpentine silhouette and elaborate ornamentation. The visual hierarchy is established by the contrast between the plush, light-absorbing sage green velvet and the intricate, light-reflecting champagne gold frame. The backrest features a distinctive bipartition: the outer wings are upholstered in solid velvet, framing a central medallion of pale pink floral tapestry. The seat employs deep button tufting (capitone), providing a rhythmic geometric texture that counters the fluid, organic lines of the carved acanthus leaf motifs on the crest rail and apron.

Technical Craftsmanship & Materiality

Constructed with a kiln-dried solid beech skeleton, the frame is hand-carved by master artisans before finishing. The joinery utilises traditional mortise and tenon techniques, reinforced with corner blocks to support the cabriole legs. The suspension system features hand-tied coil springs, ensuring the seat retains its loft and support. The velvet is a heavy-weight cotton-poly blend designed for high traffic, while the central tapestry panel is reinforced to prevent fabric distortion.

• Structural Integrity: Solid hardwood frame, kiln-dried to 8-12% moisture content.
• Cushioning: High-density polyurethane foam overlaid with polyester fibre batting.
• Artisan Finish: Hand-applied Champagne Gold leaf with a protective lacquer sealant.

Interior Curation & Spatial Integration

To maximise the visual impact of the Bespoke Hand-Carved Velvet & Tapestry Sofa, we recommend positioning it within spaces that feature classical architectural elements such as boiserie wall panelling, crown moulding, or marble flooring. The sofa’s curvilinear form serves to soften the rigidity of rectangular rooms. Spatially, this piece commands a central position, ideally paired with the matching armchairs to form a cohesive conversation circle. The sage green palette aligns effectively with cream, gold, and soft pastel interior schemes.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Q: How should the combination of velvet and tapestry be maintained?
    A: Regular vacuuming with a soft brush attachment is recommended for both fabrics. Spills on the velvet should be blotted immediately. Professional upholstery cleaning is advised for the tapestry panel to preserve the embroidery threads.

• • Q: Can the deep button tufting be omitted?
    A: Yes. For a more streamlined aesthetic, we can upholster the seat with a smooth, tight back or loose cushion configuration, though tufting is recommended for fabric longevity on the seat bench.

• • Q: Are the carvings made of resin or wood?
    A: All ornamental details on the Bespoke Hand-Carved Velvet & Tapestry Sofa are hand-carved directly from the solid wood frame. We do not use resin moulds or polyurethane appliqués.

• Q: How is the gold finish protected during shipping?
  A: The frame is wrapped in non-abrasive protective fleece before being encased in custom-cut foam and crated in plywood, ensuring the gilded finish arrives without scratches or abrasions.
