Pair of Italian Neoclassical Revival X-Base Curule Benches w/ Gilt Rosettes

About the Item

Condition: Original Vintage Condition This elegant pair of Italian Neoclassical Revival benches from the 1950s features gracefully curved X-base steel frames with a warm, aged patina. Gilt brass rosettes and turned armrest finials add classical detailing that nods to ancient Roman curule seating. The original green diamond-stitched upholstery remains intact, offering a charming vintage character and comfortable support. Woven metal straps beneath the cushions provide structural integrity while enhancing the refined craftsmanship. These benches embody a timeless blend of form and function, perfect as accent pieces in both traditional and modern interiors. Fun Historical Fact: The curule form dates back to ancient Rome, where it symbolized power and was reserved for high-ranking magistrates and nobility.
