Stool

Jean-Baptiste-Claude Sené

Cleveland Museum of Art

The stool, created by Jean-Baptiste-Claude Sené, features a square seat. The seat is upholstered in fabric with a white base and a red, pink, and green floral pattern. A decorative trim borders the seat, with a yellow section underneath; long tassels hang from the bottom edge. The base is made of gold-colored metal, with curved legs that cross in an "X" shape underneath the seat. The legs are decorated with intricate carvings of leaves and flowers. A circular decoration featuring a flower design is centered on the bottom. The feet of the legs are shaped like animal paws.
