Vintage Thomas De Angelis Stool in Manuel Canovas Silk Stripe Fabric

About the Item

Mid 20th c., New York, a low stool in the Louis XV style with a carved and painted wood frame from the Thomas De Angelis workshop. The stool was custom made for a dame of American society and a member of the Rockefeller family. The stool has been recovered in a Manuel Canovas silk stripe fabric in navy blue, turquoise, gold and ivory stripes. The wood has gold painted accents. Founded in 1954, NY based De Angelis Ltd are ateliers of custom upholstery and fine drapery. "Each craftsman has his specialty. Some do nothing but hand-cut maple or mahogany frames; others, called ''springers,'' apply custom-made springs to the frame so that, when a piece is finished, it will be exactly as soft or as firm as a decorator desires. And there is even a man whose sole job is to stuff down feathers into special cases that will line the material of a sofa or chair. Naturally, the price for such meticulous handiwork is high." Excerpt from NYT Magazine article by Carol Vogel, Sept. 25, 1983. Dimensions: 17.5" h x 14" square Condition: Good. Newly recovered in Manuel Canovas silk fabric. Nicks and scuffs to legs, consistent with age and use. Shows well. Ready to place. Provenance: Property from a Prominent Oyster Bay, New York Family. From the Abby and George O'Neill Collection. "Over the course of almost seven decades of marriage, Abby and George O’Neill continued the Rockefeller family tradition of combining fine art collecting with philanthropic endeavors".
