I am delighted to present this superb mahogany stool of Empire style and period, dating from circa 1810.
The base of the legs is shaped like paws and adorned with finely chiselled bronze mounts. The seat has been redone in olive‑green velvet, while the antique tapestry band has been cleaned and carefully repositioned.
Placed before a dressing table, a writing desk, or used as an occasional seat in a living room, it is a piece rich in history, distinguished by its discreet and timeless elegance.

More Information
Style Empire:
The First French Empire is a period marked by the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte from 1804 to 1815.
The craftsmen were invited to create majestic works to symbolise imperial power. For this purpose, they took up Egyptian or Greco-Roman motifs and adapted them to furniture.
To these are added imperial and warlike motifs. These include the crown, the imperial eagle, the bee, the star, the spear...
Mahogany, walnut, maple, elm and ash are representative woods of this style.
