About the Item

This exquisite French Empire stool bench, circa 1920s, is a refined example of neoclassical elegance and craftsmanship. Crafted from rich mahogany, the bench is beautifully accented with gilded bronze ormolu mounts, including floral rosettes, laurel wreaths, and sunburst motifs that reflect the grandeur of the Empire style. The graceful X-form base, enhanced with decorative gilt embellishments, provides both strength and sculptural balance, making this piece as functional as it is artistic. The upholstered seat, covered in a delicate satin fabric with woven laurel wreath patterns, offers a luxurious surface for seating or display. Its elegant silhouette and refined proportions allow this bench to serve as a decorative accent in entryways, at the foot of a bed, or as additional salon seating. Timeless and versatile, this Empire-style ormolu mounted stool embodies the neoclassical influence of Napoleon’s France, combining classical inspiration with early 20th-century craftsmanship. A superb choice for collectors of fine antique French furniture, Empire benches, or ormolu-mounted seating, this bench makes a sophisticated statement in any traditional or eclectic interior.
