Set of Four Mid-20th Century Coastal Regency Venetian Grotto Shell Back Swivel C

About the Item

A rare and fabulous find—this set of four Mid-20th Century Venetian Grotto counter stools features iconic shell-carved backs and elegant cabriole-style legs. Each stool swivels smoothly and stands out with freshly updated details that bring new life to a classic silhouette. Details: • Iconic Venetian Grotto style with sculptural shell backs • Newly upholstered in a soft, textured Sunbrella fabric for durability and easy care • New swivel mechanisms installed—functioning smoothly and evenly • Metal footrest rings have been professionally powder-coated in a sleek silver finish • Painted in a crisp white finish—while not original, it’s a significant improvement from their prior condition • Please note: the stools have been previously painted. Minor imperfections in the surface and carving remain and are typical of age and use Condition: Overall excellent condition with expected wear to the carved wood frames beneath the newer paint. The paint job is clean and presentable but not flawless—some surface irregularities and small touch-ups are visible upon close inspection. This set is structurally sound, freshly updated, and ready to use. Sets of four are increasingly hard to come by—especially with this level of restoration and attention. A chic, coastal statement for any kitchen or bar with just the right amount of drama. Please zoom in on all photos and reach out with any questions happy travels help.
