About the Item

A exceptionally carved Italian Renaissance Revival figural curule stool. Born in Italy during the late 19th century, hand-crafted of warm, rich, finely carved solid walnut, finished in medieval Henry II style / Italian Empire taste, featuring X-frame with curved armrests ending in ornate stylized lion's head / griffin grotesques, having an upholstered seat cushion adorned with nail head trim, rising on foliate carving turned stretcher-joined richly detailed acanthus leaf accented legs, terminating in finely sculpted lion paw feet. A wonderful example of functional art, the impressive antique, circa 1880, having beautifully aged patina over the whole, retaining original antique character throughout, worn smooth, naturally distressed patina that does not detract from the overall display, but only adds to the elegant rustic warmth, historical depth and European old world charm. Dimensions: (approx) 25.5" High, 34" Wide, 16" Deep Seat height: 16" Great antique condition. Presents well, having nicely aged patina. Later antique metal plate reinforcements added to support legs. Due to the stool design and age of the wood it is not overly strong or sturdy. It has no problem supporting 200 lbs but if intended for daily use it's something we recommend keep an eye on and use caution.
