Description:
• Top: Upholstered in a bold, richly colored needlepoint fabric. The background is a deep magenta with floral motifs in soft yellows, pinks, and reds. The design is bordered by a repetitive geometric pattern.
• Trim: Finished with a decorative fringe of metallic gold trim featuring an intricate woven pattern and tassel-like loops. This adds a layer of ornate, almost Victorian detail.
• Base & Legs: The wooden base is painted black with hand-painted decorative scrollwork in gold and green. The wood shows wear and patina consistent with age, adding to its vintage appeal. The legs are short, rounded, and turned, giving it a sturdy, squat profile.

Style & Potential:

This looks like it could be a late 19th to early 20th-century piece, possibly European. It’s beautifully aged and would pair perfectly with other antiques or eclectic interiors. See less
