- Lot Description
Roman, early Imperial Period, ca. 1st century CE. A stunning and exceedingly rare stool made for personal use. The design features six slender legs with stocky rectangular feet, a top border of arching gaps, a central bar filled with openwork lightning-bolt motifs, and a lower bar detailed with repeating openwork "W" motifs. The topmost periphery is sturdy and flat to accommodate the removable circular seat which features a flared rim, a lightly-corseted groove around the shoulder, and a concave seat portion decorated in the center with a large concentric circle. Fabulous layers of brown, green, and russet patina enshroud the entire composition, and scattered abrasions reveal the original golden-brown color of the bronze beneath. Size (w/ seat): 12" W x 11.7" H (30.5 cm x 29.7 cm).
