Cabriolé sofas  

Definición

  • Late 18th- and early 19th-century sofas having a high-pitch back. A type of upholstered sofa whose back curves into the arms in a smooth line. The cabriolet was a type of carriage--it's where our word "cab" comes from--that had similar backs and arms. They have an exposed wooden frame (often carved), continuous arm and back sections, distinctive concave lower legs, and no separate back cushions. The arms and back of the Cabriole are among its most distinctive features. There are virtually no differences in height between them, and they both round out towards the center at the front.
