Empire style curule stool with striped upholstery, France, 20th century

A refined French Empire‑style stool featuring an elegant X‑frame in cherrywood and a softly upholstered seat in pale striped fabric. The intersecting curved legs meet at a central roundel, creating a balanced and sculptural silhouette inspired by classical Roman curule forms. The upholstery is finished with a neat row of brass nailhead trim, adding a subtle decorative accent. The stool’s light tone and graceful geometry lend it versatility; equally suited as a dressing‑table seat, occasional stool, or decorative accent. In good, stable condition with minor wear to the fabric consistent with age.
