above: can be identified as an x-stool, a curule, a Dante chair,
Savonarola chair, a Faldistorium or even a scissors chair
In fact, the curule has bee a part of home decoration for thousands of years. This classic piece began in Ancient Egypt, and was made of wood ; It reappeared in the ever so fashionable Ancient Rome, and twenty four centuries later it reappeared in our living rooms.
As you can see. the curule, or x-chair, has taken on many forms. I myself am all about grass-like velour, or in this case maybe even real velvet. Maybe someday I will have a curule of my own...
