A George II carved walnut and upholstered stool second quarter of 18th century

the beech frame covered in distressed yellow silk, each leg with a stylised scallop shell and terminating in pad feet, restorations

Fair condition, but would benefit from some restoration. Very scuffed and marked. The upholstery is stained, worn and torn. One leg has a repaired break with replaced sections and later carving. All of the legs has wear to the carved knees. One leg has losses to its pad foot, the others all have chips and minor losses to the feet. Pleasing proportions.
