About the Item

This charming pair of French stools dates to the 1920s and reflects the refined elegance of the Louis XVI style. Each stool features fluted, tapering legs joined by an X-form stretcher, enhancing stability while adding visual interest. The carved rosettes at the knees and the rais-de-cœur detail just beneath the apron exemplify classical neoclassical ornamentation. Finished in a warm, creamy tone with gilt accents that highlight the carving, the painted surface shows subtle, desirable wear consistent with age. The square seats are newly upholstered in a neutral woven linen fabric, offering a clean contrast to the patinated wood. Compact yet stately, these stools measure approximately 13 inches square by 19 inches high—ideal as accents in a dressing room, flanking a fireplace, or adding symmetry beside a console or bed. Their versatility and scale make them equally functional as spare seating or decorative supports for books or trays. A lovely example of early 20th-century French craftsmanship, retaining the charm and clarity of classical proportions with timeless appeal.
