French Louis XV Style Upholstered Footstool, c. 1850

About the Item

This rectangular footstool was crafted in 19th century France in the Louis XV style with an upholstered seat and an elegant carved fruitwood base. The stool rests on four short cabriole legs ending in dainty whorl feet, embellished with simple acanthus leaves and six-petal flowers. The curved apron is carved with graceful parallel lines, a motif echoed in the carved legs and upholstery trim. The rectangular top has been recently updated with black-and-white wool upholstery for a neutral and modern finish. Beautifully aged with a rich patina, this footrest is in wonderful condition and looks lovely beside an armchair or sofa. From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.
