Cabriole Leg Stool, Red Walnut, C1720

18th century
Description

A beautifully proportioned upholstered cabriole leg stool in red walnut, from the Georgian era, featuring an attractive (later) needlepoint covering. This piece was purchased by my Mother in the early 1980’s from my brother Michael Baylis at Summers Davis Antiques in Wallingford. She crafted the needlepoint covering herself and used it as her dressing table stool for over 40 years.

The interior strengthening corner brackets are later but old.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. 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 18th century Queen Anne stool is made from red walnut with a dark brown finish and stands on four cabriole legs ending in pad feet with curved knees. The rectangular seat is covered in a navy blue needlepoint tapestry with a central floral wreath motif in red, pink, and gold tones. The timber displays a polished surface with natural grain variations. Measuring 46 cm high, 52 cm wide, and 40 cm deep, the dimensions provide a compact footprint. Inside the home today, this stool suits placement by a fireplace hearth or beside a dressing table for daily seating. The classic proportions and traditional English country house design integrate easily with historic or contemporary period interiors alike.

FAQs

A Queen Anne stool from the early 18th century features S-shaped cabriole legs ending in pad feet, simple timber aprons, and an upholstered top, reflecting the shift toward refined, fluid lines in British furniture design.

Stools from this period were predominantly crafted from native timbers such as red walnut or oak, constructed using hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery, and upholstered with wool needlepoint, tapestry, or silk damask.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved cabriole legs, pad or bun feet, evidence of hand-tooling on the underside frame, natural patination from age, and appropriate oxidation on internal timber surfaces.

A period stool can be placed near a fireplace hearth, positioned at the end of a sofa, or used beneath a console table to add historical texture and functional accent seating.

Clean the timber legs periodically with microcrystalline wax polish, vacuum the upholstery gently using a soft brush attachment on low suction, and position the piece away from direct heat sources.
