Set of three nesting stools (or possibly repurposed as three small side tables), attributed to Spinetto Chiavari, Italy.

They have a blackened wood frame patinated by time, and a light woven cord seat.

They are also known with a rush seat; here, in the woven cord version, they have a lovely Scandinavian look.

We love the curves of the whole, with very slender legs.

The light-colored seat contrasts elegantly with the dark base.

The weave is very tight and very elegant; it has a few flaws and some strands are damaged. This does not affect the sturdiness of the set or the seating. The flaws are mostly cosmetic.

The base has a patina on the black paint/stain, with some variations and a few losses.
