The set consists of one large duet stool and two smaller single stools. A set of stools of this quality and size would most likely have been used in a French country house. It is unusual to see a set of stools with their original needlepoint tapestry upholstery. The tapestry depicts a bird flanked by an elegant colourful floral scene. The seats are firmly sprung and are comfortable to sit on. The original brass studded braiding holds the upholstery in place. The stools sit on elegant turned and carved floral legs. The design of the stool legs and stretchers are mirror matches on either side. The front and rear of the stools features an elegant double carved scroll stretcher. Connecting turned stretchers secure the front and back legs for added stability.
This is a top quality set of stools, which are very functional as it consumes very little space. It is rare to see a large set of stools, which are also constructed of ebonized beech; it makes these stools quite rare.
These stools feature a rich dark ebonised finish. As they boast the original polish, they have a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning they have received.
