Inspired by the opulence and symmetry of early 19th-century furniture, the piece showcases the iconic curule form—an X-shaped silhouette rooted in ancient Roman design and symbolizing authority and prestige.

Handcrafted with a rich mahogany frame, the bench is accented with gilt detailing that highlights the scrolled arms and bold paw feet. The classical motifs and sculptural form evoke neoclassical elegance, while the neutral cream upholstered seat offers modern functionality and comfort. Ideal as a decorative accent in a hallway, bedroom, or formal living room, it brings timeless style and artisan quality to any space. See less
