Italian 18th Century Baroque Upholstered Low Stool
$1,750.0014"H x 22"W x 21"D
Dimensions: 14” H x 22” W x 21” D
Italian, Baroque/Rococo period (18th century) footstool with the most elegant carvings across the apron and cabriole legs. Presently the boxed seat is upholstered in a serene shade of periwinkle velvet–a more recent upgrade–outlined in a slightly contrasting tufted trim of light green. The floral and foliate motifs interspersed along the wood frame have a lyrical quality as they curve along the apron, a siren’s song drawing one down to appreciate the vision of the artisan, and contemplate the luxurious opulence of the period. The painted finish has delightfully patinated to a craquelure texture in earthy hues of sand which in no way diminishes the confident stance of the short, bowed feet. Passionate craftsmanship is evident in the beautifully carved details, fluid curves and ornate motifs, iconic of the 18th century Italian aesthetic that mixes with a range of interior styles today.

$2,200.0024"H x 24.75"W x 13.75"D
Dimensions: 24” H x 24 ¾” W x 13 ¾” D
Delightful pair of Swedish late 19th century/early 20th century carved birch benches with upholstered seats. The style would best be described as Biedermeier, hence the beautiful blonde wood frames with Neoclassical arms and saber legs that would fit with nearly all traditional to contemporary decorating styles. The upper rod of the arms are carved with a highly technical twisted effect like a handle, flanked by turned rings as the only decorative flourish on the otherwise restrained yet elegant design. Currently the seats are upholstered in a worn, satin material of alternating stripes in sage-green and ivory which complements the luminous frame. At 17” seat height they are easily adaptable as a vanity bench, footstools, and more. Please view the detailed images to see more. Sold as a pair only.
