Description:
Here is a very good quality antique French Duchess walnut footstool, in the Carolean style, circa 1870, which has been newly upholstered. A stool of this quality and size would most likely have been used in a French country house. The stool benefits from a lovely serpentine frame. It has been newly upholstered in top quality hard wearing structured wool and cotton stripped fabric, in pale gold and cream colours, finished with matching braiding. The seat itself is firmly sprung and is very comfortable to sit on or rest your feet. The underside has been with traditional hessian material. The stool stands on four ring-turned tapering legs, with pretty melon carved shoulders, which are connected by a ring turned “H” stretcher for added strength and elegance. The legs terminate on elegant bun feet. The design of the stools’ legs and stretchers are mirror matched on either side.

This is a top quality footstool, which is very functional as it consumes little space. It is rare to see stools of this quality, with the lovely turned legs and stretchers, which are constructed of solid walnut it makes this stool very desirable.

This stool features a mellow warm walnut finish. It has a fantastic colour and patination this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.

This item would look superb in a variety of rooms from the bedroom to living room.  This item would certainly grace any home and are a great investment as they are an extremely functional. So don't miss out your chance to own a lovely piece of antique furniture.
