About the Item
With its sweeping curule base and refined ornamentation, this French Neoclassical-style stool echoes the grandeur of ancient Rome, reinterpreted through a midcentury lens. Designed with the fluid, intersecting curves of classical curule seating—originally reserved for magistrates in the Roman Empire—this piece embodies both historic significance and timeless elegance.
The painted and gilded wood frame is richly decorated with delicate guilloche carvings, punctuated by rosette medallions at the crossing. Gilded accents highlight the graceful lines, lending a subtle contrast to the pale, muted finish. Atop the sculptural frame, a generously padded seat newly re-upholstered in neutral linen fabric provides comfort while allowing the intricate detailing to take center stage. The restrained palette makes it versatile for modern interiors, effortlessly blending with antique and contemporary furnishings alike.
Ideal as a decorative accent in a living room, a refined vanity stool, or a sophisticated entryway piece, this curule bench brings both classical form and functional beauty to a space. Positioned at the foot of a bed or used as occasional seating, its sculptural presence enhances any setting with a sense of Neoclassical poise and architectural balance.

Located in Atlanta, GA
A French Neoclassical style painted stool from circa 1920 with circular upholstered seat, guilloche carved apron and fluted legs. This French 1920s stool, with its circular upholstered seat, guilloche carved apron, and fluted legs, beautifully encapsulates the grace and refined aesthetics of the Neoclassical period.
