Splendid pair of neoclassical stools in carved and gilded wood, Sicily, second half of the 18th century. Measurements: cm H 60 x diameter 39 Price: confidential negotiation Objects accompanied by a certificate of authenticity The valuable pair of neoclassical stools, made in Sicily in the second half of the eighteenth century, consists of a finely carved and gilded wooden structure. The seat, lined in burgundy silk with golden floral motifs, rests on a tripartite circular band: the first frame is carved with small palmettes; the central one presents circular geometric motifs with flower-shaped elements inside; finally the lower one with geometric dash-dot-dot motifs. The four legs, whose feet are inscribed within a quadrangular virtual space, are very rich in their structure. They originate from a Corinthian capital richly carved with acanthus leaves that rests on a quadrangular section element carved inside. From this depart the legs, in the shape of an inverted pyramid trunk, fluted and ending with a foot composed of quadrangular and spherical geometric elements. The two stools, rare and of executive quality, are very decorative and suitable for inclusion both in environments with antique furniture and next to modern furniture. They can be placed in a living room, in pairs or individually, next to seats or in a bedroom to support chairs, armchairs or sofas.
