AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title
Elegant vintage pouf in neo-baroque style – richly upholstered with fringe – circa 1950–1970
Description
This elegant vintage pouf is a beautiful example of the neo-baroque interior style that was particularly popular in Europe in the mid-20th century. During this period, interior designers drew on the grandeur of French and Italian salons from the 18th and 19th centuries, but combined it with the comfort and craftsmanship of their own time.
The pouf is upholstered with a rich jacquard-like fabric in warm gold and cream tones, featuring a classic ornamental pattern. The decorative fringe around the base enhances the luxurious character and nods to aristocratic seating furniture from historic city palaces.
Historical context
In the 1950s–1970s, these kinds of poufs were often used in:
• stylish salons
• reception rooms
• boudoirs
• luxury hotels and townhouses
They served not only as footstools, but also as extra seating or a decorative statement, just as this pouf can still be used today.
state
The pouf is in very good vintage condition, with:
• solid filling
• well-preserved fabric
• intact fringes
• no visible damage or repairs
Dimensions (optional to add)
(Add height/width/depth here if desired)
Conclusion
A characterful and timeless pouf that effortlessly fits into both a classic and an eclectic interior. Ideal for fans of vintage, grand millennial style, or historic elegance.
