Little footstools such as this may not be hugely useful these days, but this one is more useful than most doubling up as a box! It is such a lovely thing - the embroidery on the cover is beautiful and I love the shape of the feet.
Condition: The cover is a little faded and has some marks, but all the embroidery is intact. The padding to the lid is firm and I suspect is the original horsehair. The lid doesn’t sit perfectly level on the body - this is more obvious in the photos than it is in the flesh. I think it would have had four feet originally, and there are some marks on the underside that look as though they might be where the feet were. I suspect one got damaged so they were repositioned to make its work with three feet instead of four. There are a couple of small losses to the inlay. Overall a charming little piece in good condition.
Dimensions:
Width - 26cm
