For Sale by Jeckyll & Co

FAQs

A centre stool, often called a tabouret, is a low upholstered seating piece crafted to be positioned centrally within a salon or drawing room during the 19th century, drawing inspiration from Louis XV Rococo design.

These pieces were typically constructed from carved hardwoods such as beech or walnut, finished with gesso and hand-applied gold leaf, and fitted with webbed upholstery stuffed with natural horsehair.

Authentic period examples demonstrate signs of hand-carved joinery underneath, age-related craquelure within the gesso layer, and natural wear patterns on high-relief areas showing red or grey bole beneath the gilding.

An antique giltwood stool can be incorporated into modern settings as a decorative accent at the foot of a bed, as occasional seating in a drawing room, or paired alongside minimalist upholstery to add architectural texture.

Giltwood frames should be dusted exclusively with a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or solvents, while delicate fabric upholstery requires gentle vacuuming with a low-suction soft brush attachment.
