(Restored, and white-glove ready — suitable for immediate placement.)
This exquisite 19th-century French Régence tabouret exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship of its era. The rectangular footstool features an intricately carved original giltwood frame with floral and scroll motifs, cabriole legs adorned with acanthus leaves, and classic scroll feet. A central shell motif decorates the long apron, while the short sides echo with delicate flourishes. The gold leaf finish is original and subtly worn, revealing traces of the warm brick-red bole beneath—a hallmark of authentic period gilding that adds depth and age.
Note: The photos do not fully capture the richness of the original gilded finish. In person, the gold leaf glows warmly and the red bole subtly peeks through the worn edges, offering a depth and authenticity only found in true 19th-century pieces.
The cushion is newly upholstered in luxurious eggshell chenille linen with a clean double welt edge. This high-performance Crypton fabric offers durability and easy maintenance—just soap and water keeps it looking fresh. The original horsehair and spring fill remains intact, with added padding for enhanced comfort. A new black dust cover on the underside completes the professional restoration.
Perfect as a footstool, accent seat, or decorative element in any room, this antique French tabouret brings timeless sophistication and historic beauty to any space.
