Description:
Here is a fine quality antique French Louis XV style walnut serpentine duet stool, circa 1860, in very good condition. The stool is constructed of solid walnut, with an elegant serpentine moulded frame, incorporating floral motifs to the knees of the cabriole legs, terminating on scroll feet. The stool has been newly upholstered in top quality luxurious fawn colour embroidered floral silk damask upholstery. This upholstery reflects the style of upholstery that would have been used originally. The underside of the seat has been re-webbed in the traditional manner, using hessian, to ensure it is comfortable but secure at the same time.
The stool boasts a rich brown walnut colour. As it boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
The stool would look superb in any bedroom at the foot of a bed, or in the living room in a bay window. It would certainly grace any home and is a great investment as it is extremely functional. So don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.
