Description from the seller
Beautiful French Stool / Hocker in Louis XV style with Handcrafted Tapestry – ca. 1950
Add a touch of Parisian elegance to your interior with this stunning, classic stool (ottoman) in Louis XV style. This furniture piece is the perfect embodiment of the romantic and refined French provincial style, characterized by its gracefully flowing lines and timeless class.
The base is made of high-quality solid hardwood with a warm, deep gloss and a beautifully lived-in patina. The edges feature subtle and elegant woodcarving that smoothly transitions into the iconic, slim cabriole legs (S-legs).
The absolute focal point of this piece is the seat. It features a stunning, handmade needlepoint (naaldkant) tapestry with a romantic central floral motif. The soft, natural hues of the flowers contrast beautifully with the dark brown edge. The upholstery is expertly and neatly finished all around with a continuous trim of classic nailhead accents, giving the furniture a rich and authentic look.
A versatile interior jewel.
