About

This mid-century Italian curule-form stool, crafted circa 1960, features a gracefully arched X-base construction with scroll ends and turned side handles. The hand-carved beechwood frame is finished in a worn cream paint with traces of gilt detailing, highlighting the curves and contours of its classical silhouette. The stool retains its original striated silk-blend upholstery in warm tones of blush, beige, and taupe, showing natural fading and wear. A central carved medallion anchors the crossed legs, while the turned stretchers add support and sculptural balance. The overall patina reflects decades of use, with surface abrasions, joint cracks, and paint loss consistent with its age. A timeless accent piece that brings historic charm to a bedroom, hallway, or dressing area. Dimensions: 25.5″ W x 15.75″ D x 19.5″ H
