John Mayhew’s “Settee (one of a pair)” is a beautifully crafted piece of furniture that exemplifies the Rococo style popular in the 18th century. The delicate, carved, and gilded wood frame features a curved, serpentine form and slender legs. The vibrant floral tapestry upholstery adds a touch of elegance and provides a dramatic contrast to the gilded wood. This settee, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the refined taste and craftsmanship of the period.
