Venetian grotto furniture was originally created for the artificial grottos of royal palace gardens. Traditionally carved in solid wood and either painted or gilded they were also known as fantasy furniture.
This lovely grotto stool remains in original condition, does show signs of use, but would look lovely as a library chair or as a shop display piece. This piece has an attribution mark,
I am sure that it is completely authentic and take full responsibility for any authenticity
