Antique Velvet Stool

Belgium, 20th Century

$445

Antique Upholstery One-Of-A-Kind

Every good chair by the fire had a footstool to go with it, somewhere to put your feet up at the end of a long day. Found in Le Perche and dating to the early 20th century, it is a long, low stool upholstered in a soft green velvet, worked with a diamond weave and worn to a gentle fade, standing on four turned wooden legs. Velvet was the fabric of comfort, the plush that made a stool something you wanted to rest against rather than just use, and this one has softened exactly the way good velvet does over a century. Sylvie sets it at the foot of an armchair by the fire, close enough to swing your feet up onto without getting up.

Dear collector, as with many antiques, this piece may show signs of its age, including subtle repairs, a bit of movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation from years of use. The fabric has minor areas of discoloration and marks consistent with its age and years of use.
