About the Item

This rare carved figural maiden walnut Victorian bench stool, circa 1870, is an extraordinary example of 19th-century craftsmanship and artistry. Exquisitely carved from rich walnut, the stool features four intricately sculpted figural maidens at each corner, their flowing drapery creating the arm supports. The detailed carving highlights the high level of skill characteristic of the Victorian era, with attention to facial expressions, drapery folds, and anatomical proportions. The legs are further adorned with bold paw feet, adding both stability and a sense of grandeur to the piece. The seat is upholstered in a vintage floral-patterned fabric, which complements the deep walnut tones and ornate carvings. While the upholstery can easily be updated to suit modern tastes, its current presentation captures the Victorian affinity for richly patterned and colorful textiles. A true collector’s piece, this figural maiden bench serves as both a functional seat and a decorative art object. Ideal for use in a parlor, bedroom, or hallway, it brings historical charm and sophistication to any interior. Its rarity and fine detailing make it highly desirable for antique collectors, Victorian furniture enthusiasts, and those seeking a one-of-a-kind statement piece with timeless elegance.
