Lovely Antique/vintage French Ebonised Barley Twist Stool
Lovely Antique/Vintage French Ebonised Barley Twist Stool. This is a lovely vintage French stool.
These legs are then connected with two diagonal thinner barley twist stretchers. In the centre, where the two stretchers intersect, there is a carved central finial. The seat has clearly been reupholstered relatively recently.
It is covered in a burgundy coloured velvet type fabric that is in excellent overall condition. The stool is well cushioned/sprung and this also appears to have been done recently. From underneath, you can feel that it has webbing and springs, and beneath the fabric we are hypothesising that it may well have horsehair. You will see from the photos that it appears as though there would have been a fabric trim that was glued around the base of the cushion at one point. Obviously this is no longer there, but there is a glue residue mark visible. It is a little creaky if you jiggle about on it, with a small amount of movement in the frame of the stool, however it appears generally very sturdy. We have looked online to try and find more information about the style, but have not learned that much. This is a similar style stool (albeit priced ridiculously high). Due to the size and weight of this item, we would prefer for it to be collected from the Guildford area (GU2). If you live locally, i. Within 5 miles we would be happy to deliver it to you. It can of course be delivered via a Parcel courier service. This item is in the category "Antiques\Antique Furniture\Benches & Stools".
