This is an antique French wooden footrest or small table / plinth with unusual woven leather top. We see lots of little footstools but never one with a top like this. Very nicely worn, with signs of age and previous use as detailed below. Still structurally sound but we would suggest for lighter use in it’s retirement years.
Sourced: in Normandy, France
Origin: France
Age: circa 1910-20’s
Materials: wood
Size roughly: 6.5 x 12 x 7.5 inches – 17h x 30 x 19 cm
Weight unpacked roughly: 1 kg
Condition: in heavily used antique condition, knocks and scratches, heavy wear especially to extremities / edges, leather worn, top is a little loose and lifts off if pulled – could be easily secured with a couple of nails but sits well as is, still holding up well structurally, would recommend for lighter use such as a display stand in it’s retirement years, very nice tarnish and patina, please see all pictures
