About the Item

Italian giltwood and gesso neo-classical curule stool. Featuring a scrolled x-frame with lion mask details, the legs are decorated with acanthus leaves and paw feet. Reupholstered in a textured white silk. Some losses to the giltwood frame commensurate with age and wear. Newly reupholstered in silk. Curule seats are a form of transportable chair noted for their use in Ancient Rome, they held status in early Rome as a symbol of political or military power. The lion heads are a canonical Neo-classical motif, referencing Roman power, authority and virtue. They are typically used as terminations rather than independent sculptural elements. The stools became popular again in the early 19th Century, when European furniture designers started to take inspiration from classical antiquity.
