LOUIS XVI STYLE GILTWOOD AND VERDE MARBLE TABOURET STOOL
French, circa 1870
Item # 108NDP25P
A very nice tabouret stool in the Louis XVI taste from the third-quarter of the 19th century, it features an original verde marble top set within a slightly raised rim of reeds-bound-with-ribbon before elaborately carved raised finials of foliage surrounding fruit over cyma-curved legs with acanthus foliage beautifully developed along the length and draped garlands of carved waterleaves hanging between and "through" each leg. It remains a wonderful presentation.
