Louis XVI Style Giltwood Caned Stool

1900 - 1920

Sold by Shackladys Antiques

Description

A finely proportioned Louis XVI style stool, executed in carved and gilded wood with fully caned sides and back, forming a three-quarter enclosed seat. The rectilinear frame is crowned by a gently shaped cresting carved with continuous foliate ornament, the uprights detailed with husk and ribbon motifs in restrained low relief. The seat rail is enriched with a repeating leaf-and-reed frieze and square corner blocks carved with rosettes, reinforcing the disciplined neoclassical character of the design.

The open caned panels lend lightness and transparency to the form while maintaining structural integrity. The stool stands on slender, fluted and tapering legs terminating in turned feet.

The removable loose cushion is upholstered in a gold and ivory striped textile, button-tufted and piped, harmonising with the warm tone of the gilded surface. The gilding shows minor wear and tonal variation consistent with age, contributing to an attractive patina. The cane work remains intact and stable, and the frame is structurally sound.
