Pair of Italian Cherry Vanity Stools, Napoleon III Period, Mid-19th Century

Elegant pair of solid cherry stools, finely hand-carved with the quiet confidence of master craftsmen. Their silhouette is both sculptural and restrained: turned armrests that introduce a touch of ceremony, and legs that bend in a gentle, semi-curved line — poised, graceful, never stiff. The proportions are balanced, inviting the eye to rest on their form rather than on ornament alone.
Each seat is upholstered in a luminous white-silver silk, its surface alive with woven floral vines and palmette motifs inspired by the Second Empire’s courtly romanticism. The fabric has an understated glow — refined, not flashy — catching light in soft, intelligent ways. It feels both historically anchored and surprisingly contemporary.
Pieces like these don’t simply “decorate” a room; they give it intention. They elevate a bedroom corner, a vanity table, a living room conversation area — wherever they are placed, they add a sense of collected taste and considered beauty. The scale is intimate, the craftsmanship genuine, the mood quietly luxurious.
Italian work from the Napoleon III period, mid-19th century. A lovely, harmonious pair that speaks softly but leaves a lasting impression.
