B&B Italia “Maxalto Apta” Footstool Sofa Table in Dark Brown “Gamma” Leather
Located in Barrowford, GB
Hello Friends, and welcome to another unmissable offering from Lord Browns Furniture, the UK’s premier resource for fine Sofas and Chairs. On offer on this occasion is a sublime, immaculately-presented Large “Maxalto Apta” Footstool in Dark-Brown Gamma Leather, manufactured by the leading Italian Interiors House, B&B Italia. As you will no doubt be aware by your interest in these divine Antonio Citterio creations, B&B Italia furniture is the epitome of contemporary European furniture design, is of Peerless quality, and exhibits detailing and execution of the highest standard. In a world of temporary pleasures, B&B Italia creates beautiful furniture that remains a joy forever. This piece is in superb, impeccably-maintained condition, having seen light, irregular use in its previous home, and is entirely free from fault, flaw or damage. Its hugely handsome order reflects the TLC and considerate use afforded it in the past but, as you would think normal when considering the nature and colour of this particular leather, it does possess a small number of barely-visible and largely-inconsequential marks as you might expect. For the avoidance of doubt, please view the numerous images provided to confirm the superb condition and appearance of this gem. Clearly not in truly-perfect condition (it is not far-off though) but a true Classic of modern furniture design presented in as good-condition as you are likely to find. Whilst it could not be considered pristine due to the reasons stated above, it is certain to meet the requirements of all but the true perfectionist and, for someone looking for a piece of Peerless design and execution to position at the heart of their home, it is truly heaven sent! Without question, this superb Footstool possesses all the beauty and majesty you would expect from one of the finest contemporary seating manufacturers in the world. Dimensions-wise, the measurements of the table are H-39cm, W-122cm and D-122cm and, costing in excess of £3,500 when new, it represents spectacular value for money, and we have no doubt it will serve and delight its new owner for many years to come. Delivery of this piece to most UK mainland addresses will cost £90, and can be organised on behalf of the winning bidder upon request using one of our hand-picked panel of specialist, fully-insured independent furniture couriers. Should I be able to help you further, feel free to call or message me. For important payment, shipping, returns, cleaning and contact information...

Antique and Vintage Footstools

Antique and vintage footstools might add a dose of fun to your living room, but they’re also hard workers.

Even as they’ve morphed into objects with plenty of functions over time, the footstool has a royal past. In Ancient Egypt, a footstool was used to climb onto an elevated chair or placed under someone’s feet as he or she was seated in a temple or private residence. Footstools were also in use during the Ottoman Empire. In fact, the ottoman, an upholstered seat or small bench that initially had no back or arms, was the main seating furniture in a home. Ottomans were a way to merge floor seating with cushions and mats.

Poufs, which originated in France, are also thought of as convenient seating furniture as well as occasionally serving as a side table, if needed. (Although, a pouf is typically not as firm as an ottoman.)

Over the years, footstools have taken on varying purposes. They have been used as small portable chairs, for example.

During the 18th century, a footstool might have been long with a low profile, which rendered it perfect for fireside seating. Victorian footstools were small but not unassuming, as furniture makers of the era would upholster the pieces so that they paired with the nearby sofa or wingback chairs. Footstools have even become a storage solution at home, with designers outfitting them with compartments. Today, a footstool might be used to organize quilts and blankets or other textiles, especially if you’re trying to keep things uncluttered in a small apartment.

Footstools are now available in all sorts of provocative colors, upholstery and more. No one is going to put a velvet footstool out on the curb, right? When shopping for your own footstool, try to find one that meets the height of your sofa or other seating (or is a tad lower). It should also be sturdy but not a heavy, clunky piece that’s a chore to move around.

The footstool is both decorative and functional. Not unlike a good throw pillow, interior designers have found numerous uses for this versatile, vibrant furnishing. Find yours in the growing collection of antique and vintage footstools today on 1stDibs.
