Antique 19C Stool Jacobean Style Gold color & Blue Damask from a Palm Beach estate.
This charming stool dates from the late 19th century and is in the Jacobean style of the 17th century. The wood looks to be walnut and has been professionally restored and the upholstery fabric is a woven damask with a light blue background and floral motifs in tones of gold and honey. The antique brass nail-heads have a floral motif which compliments the small floral blooms in the fabric.
The Jacobean era is named after King James I who ruled from 1603 until 1625. James 1 belonged to the Stuart family as did his son and successor King Charles I reigning from 1625 until 1649. The term Jacobean era furniture is used here to refer to the period of both kings. The Jacobean, or Jacobethan, era was another phase of English Renaissance architecture, theatre, and decoration and formed a continuation, begun in the Elizabethan age, of the the Renaissance's penetration into England. Jacobean style furniture, early. The early Jacobean furniture period, which inspired much of the early American furniture of the pilgrims (in America Jacobean style furniture is often called Pilgrim furniture), was similar to Elizabethan furniture in that it was still largely made of oak, and of a solid, sturdy construction. Early Jacobean furniture was somewhat inward looking, not fully embracing exotic influences, and its ornamentation became less prominent and applied in a less willy-nilly, more ordered, fashion than previously, as can be seen in pictures of early carved furniture.
