FAQs

The X-frame or curule stool originates from ancient Roman seating used by magistrates, which was revived during the Renaissance and later popularised in the 19th century during the Gothic and Rococo Revivals. Victorian makers adapted the form using solid hardwoods, pairing curved legs with decorative textiles like needlepoint and glass beadwork.

Victorian footstools were typically constructed from solid woods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, joined with mortise and tenon craftwork. Upholstery frequently featured hand-stitched wool canvas, Berlin woolwork, or beadwork secured with braided cord or brass studs.

Authentic 19th-century pieces feature hand-stitched glass micro-beads sewn onto heavy canvas, often depicting floral motifs. Look for period-appropriate joinery on the wooden frame, natural wear to the underside finish, and hand-cut screws or traditional webbing inside the upholstery framework.

An antique X-frame stool functions well as an accent piece placed beside a fireplace hearth, at the foot of an armchair, or beneath a dressing table. The bold textile work and dark timber provide visual contrast within both contemporary and traditional rooms.

Keep textile seating out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading and fibre degradation. Vacuum the upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment, and apply a natural beeswax polish to the walnut frame while avoiding contact with the fabric edges.
