The settee would likely feature ornate carvings, possibly including motifs such as acanthus leaves, scrolls, and floral patterns, all meticulously rendered to create a sense of luxury and refinement.
Linnell's designs were not merely about decoration; they also demonstrated a keen understanding of comfort and usability. The settee would have been designed to provide both visual pleasure and practical seating, making it a prized piece in any grand drawing room or salon. The upholstery, often made from rich fabrics like silk or velvet, would complement the wooden frame, adding to the overall sumptuousness of the piece.
