Stool - Cherry wood - Louis XV footstool

An attractive and elegant antique low footstool is offered, executed in a classic Louis XV style.
The piece is made from warm-quality hardwood with a refined, undulating edge and rests on graceful, short cabriole legs.
The cushion is upholstered in authentic handwoven gobelin fabric (or fine cross-stitch embroidery) with a subtle, romantic floral and geometric motif in pastel green and soft pink tones. The upholstery is around the edges very expertly and neatly finished with a continuous row of characteristic patinated copper tacks (hobnails), giving the bench a rich and historical appearance.
Thanks to its compact size, this piece is not only functional as a footrest but also serves excellently as a decorative style element in a classic, eclectic, or country interior.
