Description from the seller
Antique Bidet Transformed into a Victorian Era Pouf with Capitonné
Important and rare bidet from the Victorian era, transformed into an elegant pouf, dating from the late nineteenth century. The frame is made of solid wood with a warm original patina, characterized by a shaped form and a smooth perimeter band that preserves the authentic signs of time.
The seat has been upholstered with capitonné workmanship, enriched by deep button tufting that gives movement and refinement to the whole. The velvet, in sage green tones, has a lived-in look consistent with the piece’s age, adding further charm and authenticity.
The four turned legs, slender and elegant, fully evoke the Victorian taste, ensuring stability and harmony in the proportions. The lower structure retains the original bidet layout, making this piece a perfect example of antique upcycling with strong decorative impact.
Ideal as a living-room pouf, occasional seat, or decorative element for classic interiors, bedrooms, or prestigious entryways. A unique piece that combines history, craftsmanship, and functionality.
