French Iron Stool with Burnt Orange Velvet Seat, 1960s - 1 Available

$1,900.00

A French low stool from the 1960s, defined by its balance between structure and softness. At 14 inches in diameter and just under 18 inches high, it sits easily within a room.

The seat is upholstered in a warm, burnt orange velvet, its surface matte and even, catching light in a way that feels soft rather than reflective. The color brings a quiet depth—earthy, but with enough saturation to hold its own against wood, stone, or neutral interiors.

Beneath, the base is hand-forged iron. The legs extend outward in a gently splayed stance, connected by curved stretchers that add both stability and a sense of movement. There’s a lightness to the structure despite the material—slight irregularities in the ironwork that speak to its making, rather than machine precision.

It’s the kind of piece that adapts without effort. A seat when needed, a small table, or something to pull closer to a fire or window. Nothing overstated—just well-proportioned, and quietly resolved.
