Description
on four square tapering legs joined with an X stretcher; covered with red velvet; (restorations)
Provenance
Galleria Accorsi, Torino
Condition
The photograph is quite accurate. As visible, the crimson velvet is extensively worn. As said, they were repaired a long time ago and now they would need a global restoration: each stool is rather loose and there are several scattered chips to the giltwood, as well as small parts redone such as finials on the centre of stretchers.
