each with upholstered saddle seat above a plain frieze over a curule-form base adorned with lappet carving on the legs ending in in-scrolled feet all joined a turned stretcher; good antique condition with some old indentations to surface; refinished and reupholstered

The curule form is inspired by furniture from Roman Antiquity relating to the authority of the senior magistrates who were entitled to sit in the sella curulis, an x-form chair that most often could be folded.
