In caviúna and straw, with a very symmetrical composition, this canapé comes from the farm that belonged to President Campos Salles. He exemplifies the Empire style, developed in France when Napoleon wanted to add to his image the symbols of ancient civilizations. The side gondola arms refer to Roman cushions and Egyptian boats. The piece is part of the MCB Collection.
