FAQs

The X-frame, also known as a curule stool or savonarola chair design, dates back to ancient Rome and Egypt, experiencing significant revivals during the Renaissance, the neoclassical period, and the 19th century.

These pieces typically feature solid hardwoods such as walnut or mahogany, joined with mortise and tenon construction, and upholstered using traditional methods including webbing, animal hair stuffing, and hand-stitched needlework.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery, hand-forged or early brass tack fastenings, natural patination on the timber, and hand-spun or hand-woven textile fibres consistent with nineteenth-century manufacturing techniques.

An X-frame stool serves as versatile accent furniture and can be placed at the foot of a bed, used as a vanity seat, or positioned beneath a console table to introduce historical texture and classical symmetry.

Preserve antique needlework by keeping it out of direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, gently vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or excessive moisture.
