Versailles Sofa specifications
Upholstery & Frame Construction
We craft every Versailles Sofa frame from kiln-dried solid birch, a hardwood chosen for its strength and fine grain. Our artisans hand-carve the decorative scrollwork, cabriole legs, and rolled arm details before applying a multi-step antique gold finish. This process takes approximately 20 hours per frame to achieve the depth and patina characteristic of heirloom furniture.
The velvet upholstery arrives pre-treated with stain-resistant coating while maintaining the fabric’s signature sheen and soft hand feel. We offer three colorways: Burgundy for traditional interiors, Navy for transitional spaces, and Champagne for light, airy rooms. Button tufting is hand-sewn using reinforced upholstery thread.
Dimensions & Room Planning
The Versailles Sofa measures 90 inches wide, making it suitable for living rooms with at least 120 inches of wall space to allow for visual balance and traffic flow. At 38 inches deep, you’ll want to maintain 30-36 inches of clearance between the sofa front and your coffee table.
Seat height sits at 20 inches from floor to cushion top, which we’ve designed for easy sitting and standing. The backrest rises to 42 inches total height, providing full lumbar and upper back support without blocking window sight lines in standard eight-foot ceiling rooms.
Care & Maintenance Instructions
Vacuum velvet upholstery weekly using your upholstery attachment with soft bristles. Work in the direction of the fabric nap to maintain the velvet’s characteristic sheen and prevent crushing. For spills, blot immediately with a clean white cloth—never rub, as this pushes liquid deeper into fibers.
Our stain-resistant treatment handles most water-based spills, but we recommend professional upholstery cleaning annually for high-traffic households. Rotate seat cushions every three months to ensure even wear patterns.

Common Questions About the Versailles Sofa
The Versailles Sofa features a 20-inch seat depth measured from the front edge to the backrest. This depth provides comfortable lounging while maintaining enough structure for proper posture support. Combined with the high-density foam core and down feather wrap, the seat accommodates various sitting positions without feeling too deep or shallow.
Yes, both seat and back cushions are removable. The cushion covers are not designed to be removed by the customer—we recommend professional upholstery cleaning for deep cleaning needs. For routine maintenance, vacuum with an upholstery attachment weekly and spot-clean spills immediately with a blotting motion.
The legs ship detached, so you’ll maneuver only the upholstered body through doorways. The narrowest dimension is approximately 32 inches when angled diagonally. A 30-inch doorway is too narrow for safe passage. Measure all doorways, hallways, and stairwells before ordering, and consider our white-glove delivery service if access is tight.
Minimal assembly is required. The upholstered body arrives fully constructed. You’ll attach four decorative carved legs to threaded inserts in the frame base using the included hardware and Allen wrench. The process takes approximately 20-30 minutes with two people and requires no additional tools.
The Versailles features hand-carved wood details, cabriole legs, and antique gold finish for a traditional French provincial aesthetic. The Marseille has clean contemporary lines with straight track arms and tapered wood legs in espresso finish. Both offer the same premium velvet upholstery options and eight-way hand-tied spring construction.
Velvet naturally resists pet hair better than flat-weave fabrics due to its dense pile. However, lighter colors like Champagne will show dark pet hair more visibly than Burgundy or Navy. We recommend weekly vacuuming and keeping a lint roller nearby if you have shedding pets. The stain-resistant treatment helps with paw prints and minor spills.
Yes, we offer complimentary fabric swatches for all Versailles upholstery options. Order swatches through our website or by calling customer service. Swatches ship within 3-5 business days and include a small sample of the velvet fabric in each available colorway so you can evaluate color and texture in your home’s lighting.
