The curule seat was a symbol of judicial power during Ancient Rome. Indeed, this seat, originally foldable, was reserved to magistrates who beneficiated to imperium, meaning a power of constraint such as consuls, dictators, praetor and curule councillor. Its use came from Etruria to Roma at the Roman royalty period, as a movable seat. Essentially originally folding, it was built in wood with ivory incrustations, even with metal or bronze, covered with gilt or silvered ornaments.
This seat was famous during Middle Ages, Renaissance, then rediscovered during Directoire and still popular during the First Empire. Some contemporary designers as Pierre Paulin reused this ancient shape to recreate modern curule seats.
