Description

Very elegant and well proportioned late 19th century French Louis xvi style window seat or piano duet stool, circa 1880 to 1900.

Great as a window seat, piano stool, hall bench, end of bed stool, or just to use for extra seating in a living room when required.

The powder blue paint with gilt highlights are a great combination, with the seat being in a vintage water marked powder blue silk to compliment.

Please note, there is a very small (2mm) dark spot on the vintage silk which may or may not concern you…or you may choose to re upholster anyway, so do get in touch and I can assist with this if you like.

Very decorative piece and certainly useable too, happy to seat two adults when required.

Measuring:

18 1/2 inches or 47 cm high

17 inches or 43 cm deep

39 inches or 99 cm long

Dealers Notes

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

FAQs

The Louis XVI style emerged in France during the late 18th century, marked by a return to classical proportions, straight lines, and ancient Roman and Greek architectural motifs.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as beech or oak, featuring hand-carved details, gilded or painted finishes, and traditional joinery methods.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the wood ageing, hand-cut joinery, type of gesso and gold leaf application, and the presence of historical upholstery techniques.

This piece works well as an accent in a living room, bedroom, or hallway, contrasting effectively against contemporary neutral walls or pairing with classic architectural details.

Keep the item out of direct sunlight, maintain stable indoor humidity levels, and dust gently with a soft, dry cloth without using chemical cleaners.
