Stool - Cherry wood - Louis XV footstool

Offered is a charming and elegant antique low footstool rendered in a classic Louis XV style.
The piece is made of warm quality hardwood with a refined, undulating edge moulding and rests on graceful, short cabriole legs.
The cushion is upholstered with authentic, handwoven gobelin fabric (or fine cross-stitch embroidery) with a subtle, romantic floral and geometric motif in pastel greens and soft pinks. The upholstery is skillfully and neatly finished all around with a continuous row of characteristic, patinated copper nails (hobnails), giving the stool a rich and historic 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.
