Important Louis XV Canapé by Louis Delanois, France ca. 1770

About the Item

An important Louis XV canapé corbeille (basket sofa) from Louis Delanois. The sofa is made of molded wood, carved with leafy motifs and small flowers, and lacquered in cream. The curved back is finished with two small armrests, and the whole piece rests on eight small curved feet. The upholstery is made of amethyst silk from the Lelièvre House, enhanced with a silk trim. The canapé corbeille is stamped by DELANOIS, indicating its authenticity and origin. Louis Delanois (1731–1792) was a famous Parisian furniture craftsman specializing in seating furniture crafted in the late Rococo and sophisticated neoclassical styles. Among his distinguished patrons were Madame du Barry, the Comte d'Artois (the king's brother), Philippe, Duc de Chartres. Notably, even foreigners such as the King of Poland and the Duke of Dorset acquired furniture from Delanois. His handwritten account book is still preserved in the Archives de la Seine. He became a Master in 1761.
