Fascinating vintage stool in cast and worked brass, characterized by a refined Neoclassical-inspired design with rich decorative details. The seat is upholstered in luxurious deep forest green velvet. An elegant and sophisticated accent piece, perfect for a bedroom, a makeup area, or a classic living room.
Detailed Description
Technical and Stylistic Details:
Period: Estimated mid-20th century.
Style: Clear reference to Neoclassical style, visible in the geometric shapes and ornamentation inspired by classical antiquity.
Frame Material: Solid brass. The brass shows a beautiful vintage patina and high-quality cast details.
Leg Details: The four legs are magnificently worked. They are tapered and feature a deep vertical fluting, topped with balustrade-shaped capitals finely cast with foliate motifs. They end with stable and elegant feet.
Seat Base: The rectangular structure supporting the seat is adorned along its entire perimeter with a refined Neoclassical frieze motif, adding a touch of opulence.
Crossbar Detail: The legs are connected by an elegant curved H-brace crossbar with fluted joint bars, which not only strengthens the structure but also adds a distinctive decorative element.
Upholstery: The rectangular seat is generously padded and upholstered in high-quality deep forest green cotton velvet. The velvet has a soft, luxurious finish.
Bottom: As shown in the detailed photos, the base is solidly constructed with a support panel protected by a green fabric cover, and the feet are equipped with felt pads to protect floors.
Conditions:
The stool is in good vintage condition. The brass framework is solid and features an authentic patina that enhances its character. There are light signs of wear and oxidation on the brass, typical of age and use. The velvet is clean and well preserved, with no tears or obvious stains, showing only slight pile compression consistent with a vintage piece. Please review all photos carefully as they are part of the description.
