"Pair Of Chinese Stools In Carved And Polychrome Wood, 19th Century"
Charming pair of decorative stools depicting two crouching childlike figures, supporting a circular tray with their arms. Carved in wood and enhanced with antique polychromy (red, green and natural tones), these figures evoke the fashion for chinoiserie in Europe in the 19th century, heir to the taste for chinoiserie of previous centuries. Such models, inspired by both oriental "pagodas" and decorative anthropomorphic figures in the manner of Venetian "Blackamoors", adorned refined interiors, serving as occasional seats, vase holders or small pedestal tables. High-quality decorative work with exotic charm. Wear from use
