  • Chinese Limestone Foot Rest, c. 1900
    Located in Chicago, IL
    This early 20th century foot rest from China's Shanxi province is simply designed with a rounded body and four square feet.

The wooden step is finished with dark lacquer, now lightly worn along the edges with rich texture. Today, we love this low step as a tabletop display stand or a footstool beside a plush armchair...
