Baroque Burgundy Leather Sofa Set
At OE-FASHION Furniture, the Baroque Burgundy Leather Sofa Set is engineered as a focal point of “Grand Manner” interiors. It references the heavy ornamentation of the late Baroque period, translating it into a modern joinery specification suitable for luxury majlis or formal salons.
Aesthetic Structure & Proportions
The design is characterised by its “Camelback” serpentine crest rail, which rises to a central carved peak. This verticality is counterbalanced by the deep-rolled arms (scroll arms), creating a contained and stately silhouette. The colour palette is strictly regulated: the deep burgundy leather provides a dark, light-absorbing background that allows the high-relief gold leaf carving to read with maximum contrast.
Construction Logic & Material Behaviour
The frame is hewn from solid kiln-dried beech, a hardwood selected for its screw-holding capability and resistance to the splitting forces exerted by deep-buttoning tension.
- Hybrid Upholstery: The backrest and arms are upholstered in semi-aniline leather, deep-buttoned (tufted) to anchor the material and prevent stretching. The seat cushions are reversible, upholstered in a heavy-weight Chenille or Jacquard weave. This decision prevents the “slippage” common with full-leather seats and improves thermal comfort for prolonged sitting.
- Carving Detail: The crest rail and apron feature hand-carved acanthus leaf and shell motifs. These are not resin appliqués but integral parts of the timber frame, finished in genuine gold leaf over a black bole base.
- Seat Suspension: A coil-sprung base unit supports high-density foam cores wrapped in dacron, finished with a traditional bullion fringe that conceals the seat rail.
Functional Integration
The sofa dimensions are generous, with a seat depth of 650mm, accommodating a relaxed posture. The bullion fringe at the base serves a dual purpose: it adds visual weight to ground the piece and acts as a dust skirt, protecting the underside mechanics. The accompanying coffee table follows the same aesthetic language, featuring a marble top for heat and spill resistance.
Installation & Project Constraints
This is a single-piece frame (monocoque construction) and cannot be disassembled. The 2450mm length and 1250mm height require verification of all service elevators and door turning radii. Crating dimensions will exceed standard door widths; professional handling is mandatory.
Bespoke Manufacturing (OEM / ODM)
OE-FASHION Furniture operates as a technical manufacturing partner for private clients and specifiers.
- Textile Swaps: The seat cushion fabric can be replaced with silk damask or velvet to match specific drapery packages.
- Frame Finish: The ebonised/gold contrast can be softened to a Walnut or Antique White finish.
- Configuration: Available as a 4-seater (2800mm) or oversized armchair (1200mm).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is the seat fabric different from the back leather?
A: We specify fabric for the seat cushions to increase breathability and comfort (“grip”) for the user, while the leather frame ensures durability in high-contact zones.
Q: How do I clean the bullion fringe?
A: The fringe should be vacuumed regularly with a low-suction upholstery tool. Do not use wet cleaning methods as this may cause the fringe fibres to untwist.
Q: Is the gold leaf durable?
A: The gold leaf is sealed with a clear lacquer to prevent tarnishing, but it remains a decorative finish. Avoid impact from hard objects (vacuum cleaners/shoes).
