Hollywood Regency gilded dressing stool
Opulent gilded antique furniture is a design style which is really hot at the moment. The American's describe it as Hollywood Regency but the europeans have been doing it for centuries!
This dressing table stool is beautiful. It probably dates to the 1950s -1960s and is Italian. This dressing stool would have been fearfully expensive when it was new. It is properly gilded in gold leaf (I am guessing Dutch Gold) on a red gesso base. I love the way the red has bled through the gold in places. Newly gilded pieces can look too brash but old pieces gain in opulance with wear.
The stool has a wonderfully dramatic shape. Look at the carving to the leading edges and the detailing right down to the feet. It is carved front and back. The stool is upholstered in soft red velvet and this is clean.
The table table stool is in good vintage condition. Minor marks from use as you would expect. Joints solid. The gold just glints. This dressing stool could be used in a bedroom but it is so fine it could aso find a place in a luxurious principal room.
The dressing table stool is 35 inches wide and 16.5 inches deep and 24 inches high at the sides and the seat middle is 17 inches high.
