• Upholstery: The top is tufted and cushioned, covered in a floral fabric with soft pastel tones—pale pinks, yellows, and greens—on a light, almost pearlescent background. The fabric has an embroidered or jacquard texture, adding richness and depth.
• Trim: A gold and ivory twisted cord trim outlines the upholstered cushion, enhancing the refined and decorative quality.
• Tassel Fringe: Below the cushion, a dramatic fringe of multicolored tassels in shades of gold, ivory, and beige adds a playful yet luxurious detail, reminiscent of vintage boudoir furniture.
• Frame: The wooden base is ornately carved and painted in a soft, distressed beige or light gold wash. The scalloped apron features gentle curves and classical motifs, while the legs are fluted and shell-shaped—adding a neoclassical, almost coastal touch.
• Condition & Style: Overall, this is a whimsical yet refined piece. It dates from the mid-20th century but emulates 18th-century French styles. It would pair beautifully with feminine, antique-inspired decor or could be a standout accent in a coastal luxury setting . See less
