A Gondola-formed French antique sofa identified as a canape carved from Indian rosewood and rosewood veneer, with brass trim, two visible brass cubic feet and linen velvet upholstery. The rims and front of the frame are covered in veneer with a trompe l'oeil effect of basket weaving or a standard brick formation with brass trim bordering the design. The inner sofa displays several sections of upholstery secured to the frame with piping outlining all edges. The inner back has a horizontally placed section of cushioned linen velvet surrounded by two inner arm sections. In between all upholstery is the exposed rosewood of the frame. An inner bottom section with an unstable seat cushion extends past the edges of the bottom and up the inner sides a short distance. Two brass feet, equally spaced, are under the front of the piece. The photograph captures the canape in a frontal view or elevation view against a light gray wall situated on a platform of the same color showing a cast shadow beneath and to the right.

A decorative and elegant black iron firescreen with numerous, stylized curling tendrils in varying sizes contained within a rectilinear double border; at center, brilliant, golden gilt leaves surround a nude figure holding a swag-like drape, smaller gilt tendrils, and a ring of gilt pearls. Gilt leaves accent the larger panel as if fallen from a tree onto the curling tendrils at irregular intervals; they are shaped simply in an almond-like motif. The interior border is etched with spaced lines; the exterior border is smooth. The firescreen is held upright with two rectangular footings, spaced and perpendicular to the screen itself.

On either side are slightly open slats that attach to the back of the seat. The seat is leather and also surrounded with brass beading at the edging. There is a small curved wooden apron and the legs are splay out and end with feet that are adorned with vegetal designs. The seat is of a mustard brown color and it shows much wear.
