A very elegant pair of antique carved giltwood stools, beautifully decorated with crisp hand carved detail and finished in rich gold leaf. The frames are of excellent quality with classical fluted legs, carved floral paterae to the corners and a detailed frieze with interwoven and ribbon motifs, all showing strong influence from Louis XVI design.
They are upholstered in a soft golden damask with striped detailing, which complements the gilded frames well and gives a refined, decorative look. The cushions are generously padded making them both comfortable and practical.
Originally these stools would have been used as footstools or placed at the end of a bed or within a drawing room setting, often paired with a matching suite. Today they work just as well as occasional seating, dressing room stools or decorative accent pieces.
This is a particularly attractive and usable pair, with good proportions and strong decorative appeal, ideal for both classic and more contemporary interiors.
Condition Report
Very good overall condition for their age. The frames are solid with light, age related wear to the gilding. Upholstery is clean and presentable.
