In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This pair of French Rococo Revival stools dates from 1930 and follows a classic French Chateau design aesthetic. Each stool has a shapely hardwood frame finished with original sage green paint, hand-painted floral decorations against the green ground, gold-painted highlights along the moulded edges, a pierced detail at the front, and carved detail on the scroll feet. The sprung seats feature a serpentine front edge and sides, a straight rear edge, and are upholstered in a patterned cream-coloured fabric, showing obvious wear to both the fabric and the paintwork consistent with their original condition. Each stool measures 51 cm high, 61 cm wide, and 38 cm deep. These versatile low stools suit a range of interior settings in a home today. Position them at the foot of a bed in a bedroom, place them in front of a dressing table as bedroom or dressing stools, or use them as occasional seating in a living room, hallway, or dressing room. Their compact proportions allow them to sit flush against a wall when placed in a bedroom or hallway arrangement.

FAQs

During the early 20th century, French cabinetmakers produced revival pieces drawing inspiration from 18th-century Louis XV and Rococo designs, characterised by curved cabriole legs, hand-painted floral motifs, and serpentine timber frames.

Frames were typically constructed from carved hardwoods such as beech or lime wood, finished with painted gesso layers, hand-painted floral detailing, and upholstered using traditional webbed seating covered in velvet or damask.

Authentic period pieces exhibit natural age-related craquelure or softening to the paint patina, hand-carved joinery along the seat frame, and period-correct upholstery tacking rather than contemporary staple fixings.

These low-profile seating options function effectively placed as a pair at the foot of a bed, arranged in a bay window, or utilised alongside a dressing table to introduce colour and historical texture.

Clean painted timber frames with a dry, soft microfibre cloth to preserve delicate gesso and hand-painted details, and regularly dust upholstery using a soft brush vacuum attachment.
