A More Refined Sofa...

Queen Anne Legs.. Queen Anne Legs.. Gah, why is everything in victoriana so... Frilly?


Simple curved lines.. elegant upholsteries.. decadent simplicity is where I started with this new collection of furniture, The Provencial. To me, the victorian era (ergo the steampunk era) was not just the drawing rooms of london. Believe me, there were other countries and other cultures trying to keep up with the Joneses. A more germanic feel appeals to me, from the heavier woods and thicker upholsteries. My style isn't a common one in Second Life.. but then.. who wants to be common?


Excerpted from Xstreet: The Provencial Collection


An elegant styling in the theme of Biedermeier, this suite is perfectly suited in the victorian parlor or the elegant modern home. To enhance your ability to personalize it, a drop down menu is accessible to allow you to change it's appearance. Five woods and thirteen fabrics give you a wide range of possibilities. Shine versus no shine and pillows that can be called to rez or derez via the menu provide just another touch of customization. The arm chairs and tables can be changed to match the sofa, or to be different for an eclectic feel. The tables have an addtional touch; A table cloth that can be rezzed should you wish a more formal feel. As with all Capalini furnishings, each bit of upholstery is embedded with a unique sitting animation. The pillows that rez are also embedded with unique sitting animations for those long conversations or just another way to express the moment.Additionally, Capalini Fine Furnishings utilizes the MLP2 opensource code to provide even more choices. Touch the sofa to be given the option for up to 18 couple cuddle / hug / kiss postures. Each animation was carefully chosen and selected based upon the highest quality and suitability for this sofa.

As an additional bonus, because I am so pleased to be presenting this set, I am including everything to make this a "room". Included are the custom made lamps (sculpted in the art deco styling popular at the turn of the century), toy, stuffed animal, carpeting, chandelier, floor lamp and table lamp.Perfect for victorian settings, steampunk settings, modern housing that wants that vintage or antique feel.
