About the Item

A Midcentury French light gray blue painted curule stool with carved shell and foliage motifs, scrolling feet and custom linen upholstery. This elegant Midcentury French curule stool catches the eye with its light gray-blue painted finish and delicate carved details. The rectangular seat, newly upholstered in a custom linen fabric with double welt trim, adds a refined touch to the stool's clean, classic lines. The base is beautifully carved with shell and foliage motifs, adding a sense of organic beauty and timeless charm. The stool stands on an X-Form base with scrolling feet, which lend a dynamic sense of movement and sophistication to its silhouette. A central cross stretcher enhances the structural stability of the base, ensuring that this piece is as sturdy as it is stylish. The light gray-blue paint highlights the intricate carvings, creating a gentle contrast that enhances the stool's aesthetic appeal. This versatile curule stool can be a perfect accent piece in any living room, bedroom, or hallway. It serves beautifully as an additional seat or as a stylish footrest, bringing a touch of French elegance to any decor. The soft color palette and timeless design make it ideal for blending with both contemporary and traditional settings, where its graceful details will enrich the ambiance with a hint of classical sophistication.
