About the Item

A magnificent pair of 19th century Gothic Revival stools masterfully hand-carved in oak by the celebrated Italian sculptor Victor Aimone, renowned for his exquisite craftsmanship and recipient of the Gold Medal at the Paris Exhibition. These stools stand as extraordinary examples of 19th-century Italian decorative art. Each stool is crowned with four finely carved lion heads at the corners holding the arm rests, symbols of power and guardianship. The legs end in bold claw feet, rendered with striking anatomical precision, and are connected by a pair of forward facing dragons, their claws holding a shield of an ancient house in mesmerizing detail. A hallmark of Aimone’s imaginative Gothic style. The centre of each seat features a mythological face with bat-like wings, an intricate Gothic motif that evokes both mystery and medieval grandeur. Both stools are topped with their original woven green upholstery, which remains in remarkably good condition. Finished with a soft golden trim and skirt. complementing the warm oak patina and enhancing the overall richness of the design. Each piece is signed by Victor Aimone, confirming their authenticity and exceptional provenance. This pair of antique stools comes with free shipping safely packed from Amsterdam to you in 5-10 days.
