Description

Large curule stool from the late 18th century, crafted from gilded beechwood and upholstered in a beautiful period needlepoint tapestry, likely from Aubusson, depicting a forest scene with a wolf caught in a trap.

The Louis XVI style of the curule stool draws inspiration from Roman antique furniture, which was very fashionable from the 1760s onward. It was one of the court chairs where etiquette dictated a type corresponding to the social rank of the person sitting on it.
The front legs are reinforced by lateral stretchers.
This stool closely resembles the Louis XIV style version, but with more refined, curved X-shaped uprights and carved decoration drawn from the Neoclassical repertoire.
The carved motifs include fluting, beadwork, egg-and-dart patterns, and interlacing scrolls, with a central medallion rosette. The rich Louis XVI curule stools are mostly made of beechwood gilded with gold leaf, with needlepoint tapestry and upholstery in velvet or silk fabric.

The seat and tapestry are in excellent condition; the original gilding has not been cleaned.

Height: 47 cm
Width: 53 cm
