around 1760

Dimensions of Antique Settee : H 140 x W 210 x D 75 cm

This Antique Ottoman From: Belgian Antiques Dealer

This sofa, or "Antique Ottoman" or Antique settee, is owed to the work of the french cabinet-maker Delenoncourt, who mastered his craft in 1752 and made many archaistic Regency-type chairs.

The very type of this antique corbeille chair demands a degree of virtuosity. Delenoncourt shows here his merit as a joiner possessing the canons of the style of his period, through the softened curves of the legs and the floral repertoire sculpted with art: hooks, peonies and roses, delicate foliage scrolls and subtle little flowers. Note the cross rails of the back and bolsters, visible and prettily designed on a type of chair that normally comes with hidden rails.

Painting Technique: Antiquing Glaze Furniture


Transform a ordinary piece of wood furniture into a stunning antique with a little bit of paint and glaze.

Materials:

wood piece of furniture (Ikea bedside table, Aspelund, Natural) - oil-based primer - 2 colors of satin-finish paint - paintbrush - stencil - small foam roller - dark paint and glaze mixture - rag - cheesecloth - polyurethane

Antiquing Glaze Finish Steps:

1. First step in antiquing furniture with Glaze is to Cover an wood piece of furniture completely with an oil-based primer. Let dry.

3. Place the stencil in desired location, paint over it and use a damp rag to easily wipe extra paint off the satin finish basecoat. Carefully remove the stencil.

4. For the antiquing look, mix a glaze by adding one part dark brown paint to three parts glaze. Stir thoroughly. Brush the glaze generously across your Furniture piece. If you have a large piece of furniture, work in sections to avoid drying lines. Wipe the glaze off right away using either a rag or cheesecloth. Cheesecloth gives you a smoother finish and a rag gives you a wiping effect. Continue applying glaze and wiping it until you achieve your desired finish. If you mess up, use a damp rag and the paint will easily wipe off the satin finish basecoat.
