The generously proportioned upholstered seat provides comfortable and practical occasional seating while complementing the architectural character of the finely constructed mahogany base. The stool is raised upon beautifully turned legs, characteristic of William and Mary-inspired furniture, united by a substantial central stretcher arrangement that provides excellent strength and stability while contributing considerable decorative interest. The mahogany displays attractive natural grain and figuring throughout, complemented by deep, warm tones and a mature patina that enhances the sculptural qualities of the turned supports. Exceptionally well constructed and presented in very good antique condition, with appropriate signs of age and use consistent with its 19th-century origin. Its versatile proportions make the stool suitable as occasional seating, a dressing stool, fireside stool or decorative accent. The elegant form works particularly well within traditional, period-inspired and sophisticated eclectic interiors. Dimensions: Height: 48 cm Width: 60 cm Depth: 42 cm See less
