AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Victorian-era footstool, with a padded top: There is a vertical striped pattern alternating colors such as dark red/bordeaux and beige/gold. On the dark wood base:
There is a border of small decorative metallic nails and, underneath, an ornamental floral motif and stylized vines, in gold or bronze. All original and unrestored, it probably had four studs as feet that are no longer present...
This is an antique upholstered stool. An English mahogany ebony-veneered stool in an Art Nouveau taste, dating to the late Victorian period, around 1850..
A preventive treatment with anti-woodworm was carried out.. The woodworm holes are old and no longer active..
Striking ebony appearance with a wonderfully upholstered cushion
It presents an aged patina of great value.
The Art Nouveau-style frame is characterized by a dark tone and a finish with wavy-edged borders.
Sturdy cushions traditionally upholstered with a cover in precious fabric..
In grand Victorian interiors, a stool of this kind was a "mobile luxury." Its heavy frame, with a skirt but no legs, suggests it was designed to be a jewel in a formal drawing room or the boudoir of a lady.
