An elegant Empire style chaise longue by William Switzer, beautifully inspired by the grand neoclassical furniture of the early 19th century. The chaise features a dramatically scrolled upholstered back supported by an elaborately carved and gilt swan-form terminal, a characteristic motif of the Empire period. The long upholstered seat is finished in a rich red damask fabric, contrasting beautifully with the warm figured wood frame and hand-applied gilt detailing. The chaise is raised on distinctive carved and gilded spiral legs with gracefully scrolled feet, giving the piece an especially sculptural presence.
