Trapeze-back cabriolet lounge in molded, carved, gray relacquered and blue rechampi wood, comprising a suite of six armchairs and a three-seat sofa. Arm brackets underlined with foliage and girdle legs adorned with tigettes. Provencal work, late 18th-early 19th century. Dim. armchairs: 91 x 58 x 58 cm. Dim. sofa: 98 x 174 x 69 cm. (Later period upholstery with capitons). (Restorations and wear). Provenance : Château de Canari (Cap Corse), Marcantetti family. Château de Canari is the former home of the Cenci family. The full title of the Cenci de Canari family had been "Barons of Canari, Nonza and Ogliastro" since 1556. The Cenci family thus controlled three baronies. The last representative of the family to own Canari castle was Maria Vittoria Cenci, Marquise d'Albon, who was living in Rome at the time with her French husband. She sold the château to the Mattei family, who in turn sold the barony in 1880 to Toussaint Marcantetti, pharmacist in Bastia and mayor of Canari. His three children were born at the château.
