About the Item

An English ebonized stool from the 19th century, distinguished by its curving X-form base and elegant hand-painted decoration in the chinoiserie style. The sinuous legs form graceful arcs at each side, joined by a turned stretcher and finished in dark lacquer with fine gilt floral detailing. The surface retains a timeworn patina consistent with age, enhancing the visual depth of the painted motif. The seat has been more recently upholstered in a luxurious Fortuny fabric, featuring a silvery and saffron-gold damask pattern with rich botanical flourishes. The cushion is removable, as shown in the accompanying images, revealing the earlier webbed construction beneath. Compact in scale yet visually striking, this antique English stool would make a refined accent at the foot of a bed, alongside a vanity, or as a decorative element in a library or living room. Its combination of historical charm, exotic influence, and bold upholstery brings personality and presence to both traditional and eclectic interiors.
