This is a very good quality pair of rectangular shaped antique French carved upholstered tapestry stools, circa 1880, constructed of beech with an ebonised polish finish. Stools of this quality and size would most likely have been used in a French country house. It is unusual to see a pair 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 set of stools, which are also constructed of ebonized beech; it makes these stools quite rare.

This pair of stools features 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.

These items would look superb in a variety of rooms from the bedroom, living room, dining or music room. These items would certainly grace any home and are a great investment as they are extremely functional. So don\'t miss out your chance to own two lovely pieces of furniture.
