Empire Style Curule Seat, 19th Century

The curule seat is a legacy of Roman antiquity. Reserved for people of power, it crosses the centuries while retaining this political symbolism. Dagobert’s throne, for example, is built on a similar structure although it is not foldable. Finally, it is the Empire style that will make the new golden age of the curule seat. Adorned with neoclassical motifs such as palmettes and rosettes here, the curule seat is one of the symbols linking the Napoleonic reign to the prestigious memory of the Roman Empire. With its molded winding armrests and its saber feet, our curule chair knows the virtues of sobriety, which is what makes it so charming. Structure in perfect condition, upholstery in good condition.
