This is a dainty little footstool, with a needlepoint-type top and dark wood frame with peg feet. The front has a metal handle and hook and eye clasp that all appear to be original and fully functional.

The top edge is an olive green with khaki/tan floral pattern that has the lightest bits of orange/peach/red/pink accents on the flowers. It is trimmed in a beige and black chain loop cording with a red cord running through the middle. All the fabric is in good condition, with only normal signs of wear.

Upon opening the stool, you see the top has an interior lining of a think flannel-type fabric and inside the stool lays a metal container with a metal handle and threaded brass lid that screws on and off -- for adding hot water. Underneath this metal box is a graded metal plate that must have served to spread or preserve the heat. The metal container is dented in on the top, probably from feet resting or pushing on it. The metal shows signs of age and oxidation and modest wear, and is overall in good condition.

The wood stool is appx. 3 1/2" tall, 12" wide, 10 1/2" deep.

The inside metal container is 7 1/4" x 8 1/2" x 1 3/4".

I am unsure of the exact dating of this piece. I purchased it in a group of items from England, so I assume it is British and approximately early turn of the century.

It is always my goal to provide all factual information you might need to make your buying decisions and I encourage you to email me with any questions you might have prior to bidding. ...
