Pair of Gothic Revival stools France Circa 1880 Walnut, Griotte marble Height: 99 cm; Diameter: 26 cm Beautiful pair of neo-Gothic sellettes in natural walnut. Each features a hexagonal molded top in red Griotte marble, resting on a tapered hexagonal shaft. Elegant mantling and pinnacles in carved openwork walnut complete the ensemble. The highly architectural design of these sellettes is reminiscent of the creations of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc (1814-1879), who, in addition to being a famous theoretician, was above all a leading architect whose genius lay in his meticulous observation of medieval buildings with a view to restoring them or perpetuating their Gothic style in architecture and the decorative arts.
