Pair of Italian Wrought Iron Stools With Leather Seats
About the Item
The X-frame stool, also known as the curule stool or Dante Chair, is one of the most significant furniture forms in history. The form originated in Egypt, and was the most basic furniture item found in the ancient Egyptian household. In ancient Rome, curule chairs were specifically a symbol of the authority of certain senior government officials, including the emperor. The "sella curulis", as it was known, had practical function beyond its aesthetic and political uses. It was backless so that it wouldn't be too comfortable to sit in for long periods, thus the government officials would be encouraged to perform their roles swiftly, to better serve the people. In the early 19th century, Napoleon adopted many of the symbols and styles of the Roman Empire as a way of outwardly legitimizing his power. One of the symbols he restored at this time was the curule stool. Napoleon sat on the Throne of Dagobert in 1804, which was in fact, a x-frame stool.
These stools will bring an aura of authority and elegance to any room in your home.
