Comments

The rectangular low stool stands on four cabriole legs that end in turned disk (rather than pad) feet.  The knees of the legs are particularly bulbous.  The knee brackets have thin volutes or scrolled ends.  The seat rails are undercut with a serpentine.  The stool is upholstered in velvet.
