About the Item

Elegant Italian stool or bench by Paolo Buffa, 1940s–1950s — With original gold satin fabric Rare Italian stool from the 1940s-1950s attributed to Paolo Buffa, with original golden satin fabric, neoclassical wooden frame, and turned legs. Timeless Italian craftsmanship. This refined vintage Italian stool is attributed to Paolo Buffa, one of the most famous designers of the Italian modernist period. Made between the late 1940s and early 1950s, this piece expresses the elegant aesthetics and formal mastery that distinguish Buffa's work. The stool retains its original gold-colored satin fabric, decorated with a delicate tone-on-tone foliage pattern. The seat is divided into three padded sections and retains its original structure, gracefully displaying slight signs of aging that enhance its authenticity. Sculpted structure and neoclassical details The solid wood structure is embellished with elegantly curved armrests and turned feet in neoclassical style. The harmonious contrast between the polished dark wood and the golden satin finish makes this stool a sophisticated decorative object. Perfect at the foot of the bed, in a vanity area, or as a charming addition to an entryway, this stool is the ideal addition to classic, art deco, or eclectic settings. Its compact proportions, historic charm, and original vintage condition make it a collector's item for lovers of Italian design.
