19th Century French Louis XVI Painted Footstool ~ Vanity Bench

Price: $1,280

19th Century French Louis XVI Painted Footstool ~ Vanity Bench represents a tailored expression of the neoclassical revival that for all practical purposes never really ended!  Hand-crafted from seasoned fruitwood, it features four tailored, tapered legs with a bun form towards the top just before they join to the apron.  The apron is of a Greek form, with angular features embellished by carved laurel wreath motif highlighted in gold.  Gold trim on the legs and brass foot tips add a nice touch.  The painted finish has achieved a lovely patina over the decades.  Upholstered in silk, it is ready to reupholster in your coordinating fabric.
Circa 1890s
