The shaped apron flows naturally into four elegant cabriole legs, while the walnut displays a warm antique patina.
The generously upholstered seat is covered in beautifully worked floral needlepoint, with roses, blossoms and scrolling foliage in softly muted colors, finished along the edge with traditional nailhead trim.
Both decorative and useful, this antique footstool captures the elegance of French Louis XV seating on an intimate scale and is particularly appealing paired with a favorite fauteuil or fireside chair.
This delightful selection is also a great choice as a vanity bench, easily tucked under the counter although leaving it out allows one to admire the artistic work of the tapestry weaver's art.
Circa early 1900s
