A beautifully compact and highly practical late Victorian / Edwardian mahogany box ottoman stool, dating to circa 1890–1910. Designed with elements of the William and Mary revival style, this charming accent piece features twin turned and rotating scrolled side rails serving as handles, raised on sturdy, straight square section legs.

W52cm x H35cm x D33.5cm (seat H30cm)

Design

The padded seat acts as a hinged lid, lifting on its original brass hardware to reveal a neat internal storage compartment ideal for housing small textiles, crafting supplies, or modern accessories. The top is upholstered in a traditional, tight-weave tapestry fabric featuring a classical foliate and floral motif.

With its low-profile 30cm seat height and small footprint, this versatile piece is perfectly scaled to serve as a fireside footstool, a decorative dressing table vanity stool, or a space saving storage seat for smaller interiors.

The condition of the fabric is good with no rips, fading or tears. The external wood is in good condition with a beautiful vintage patina. The inside of the storage compartment has age related wear to the wood which doesn't effect use.
