A charming little piece of French history, this 19th-century Louis XV footrest combines graceful proportions, beautiful hand-carved detailing, and the unmistakable character of a well-loved antique.
Its elegantly curved cabriole legs and delicately carved wooden apron showcase the classic Louis XV style, while the warm, aged patina adds depth and character developed over generations.
Freshly upholstered in simple, natural cotton muslin and finished with individually hand-applied upholstery tacks, the footrest strikes a lovely balance between rustic simplicity and refined French elegance. The understated fabric allows the beauty of the original carved wood to take centre stage.
Petite in scale but full of personality, this versatile antique makes a beautiful accent beside a favourite armchair, at the foot of a bed, or simply as a decorative piece in a thoughtfully collected interior.
