More About This Item:
Part sculptural objet, part seating solution, this curule stool makes a bold impression wherever it lands. Attributed to Baker Furniture, this mid-century piece marries ancient inspiration with modern glamour. The curved ebonized base pays homage to the Roman curule design, long associated with power and prestige, while the silver vinyl upholstery adds a touch of 1970s disco-era glam.

The seat itself gleams with a mirrored sheen, catching the light and elevating the surrounding décor. Whether you tuck it beneath a vanity, use it in a luxe entryway, or stage it beside a sleek console, this stool delivers big personality in a small footprint.

Design Style:
This piece blends classical form with modern flair. The curule base, often seen in neoclassical and campaign-style interiors, meets the bold, edgy look of mid-century metallics. Think Halston meets Hadrian—equally at home in a mirrored dressing room or a minimalist penthouse suite.
Use it as a statement stool or luxury accent seating to add a pop of metallic contrast in an otherwise subdued palette.

Brand Legacy:
Baker Furniture has long been regarded as one of the most refined names in American craftsmanship, producing designer collaborations and heirloom-quality pieces for over a century. Even in attribution, this stool reflects Baker’s signature attention to form, balance, and enduring luxury.

Styling Tip:
Pair this low stool with lucite or chrome accents for a mod-glam aesthetic, or let it offset antique wood tones in a more traditional setting. It’s that versatile (and that striking!) See less
