About the Item

Fine 1940s Venetian Painted Stool – Hand-Decorated Floral Polychrome, Cabriole Legs, Original Damask Upholstery A distinguished example of mid-20th-century Venetian decorative furniture, this 1940s hand-painted stool exhibits the refined artistry, lyrical ornamentation, and graceful proportions characteristic of traditional Venetian lacquer work. The stool is crafted with a subtly sculpted frame elevated on delicately curved cabriole legs, each finished in a soft polychrome palette of celadon greens, warm creams, and gilt accents. The apron and legs are richly adorned with hand-painted floral garlands, botanical sprays, and scrolling foliate motifs, executed with notable delicacy and a charmingly fluid brushstroke. The decorative program reflects the enduring influence of 18th-century Venetian Rococo, interpreted here with mid-century refinement and an appealing, time-softened patina. Expected and desirable surface wear enhances the authenticity and visual texture of the painted finish. Retaining its original damask upholstery, the seat is covered in a gold-toned, floral-patterned fabric that coordinates harmoniously with the painted frame. The cushion remains well-padded and comfortable, making the piece suitable for practical use as a vanity stool, dressing-room seat, or occasional accent in a refined interior. This stool exemplifies the Venetian tradition of small-scale, hand-decorated furnishings intended for elegant domestic settings. Its compact proportions, sculptural profile, and richly painted surfaces make it an ideal decorative accessory for a bedroom, salon, or boudoir, and a highly versatile addition to both classical and eclectic interiors. A fine and charming piece for collectors of Italian decorative arts and those seeking authentic Venetian craftsmanship, this 1940s stool offers a refined presence, distinctive character, and a delightful expression of Venice’s storied lacquer tradition.
