Description from the seller
Footstool, hand-embroidered “petit point,” mahogany, Victorian, c. 19th century – England
Style: Victorian
Materials: Wool, cotton, mahogany wood
Period: Late 19th century
Country of origin: England
Good condition in keeping with its age and use
Total dimensions: 28 x 46 x 70 cm.
Wonderful footstool of English origin, Victorian, with a hand-embroidered floral motif in petit point.
The footstool consists of a large central element, a embroidery made with the petit-point technique, in which two white irises are perfectly rendered, on a bright burgundy background. The entire profile of the footstool is decorated with a padded cushion upholstered with the famous Vichy check pattern, in which red, green and white are interwoven.
Decorating all sides there is a valance made with garnet-colored trim, finished with tassels, which add texture and a more classic finish. The bottom part is composed of red upholstery. The footstool has four mahogany turned legs with curved moldings and rings.
The petit point, or petit-point stitch, is a type of hand embroidery in which the stitches are made diagonally, and with the help of a canvas or regular pattern, designs and images with great detail, curves and color shading are created, yielding designs that sit between embroidery and painting.
These stools or footstools with embroidered decorations are very common in England, always made by hand, and became a fundamental part of the living room, usually placed next to the fireplaces. It is a piece that brings comfort and warmth to the room.
