Gold Leaf Footstool with Hand Embroidery
About the Item
This beautiful footstool is in great condition with hand embroidery and original beautiful gold leaf gilt work over hand carvings. Circa 1880.
Footstools have evolved throughout history starting in ancient Egypt, where it was utilized to ascend chairs perched high off the ground. It was also used to rest a person's feet when he or she was seated. In the 18th century a low footstool, such as this, was placed in front of the fireplace, for the family members to place their feet and warm them up. Footstools where generally interchangeable in everyday life from the 17th through the early 19th century.

Liberty's London Camel Sculpture with Lovely Aged Leather on Hand Carved Wood
Located in Pulborough, GB
We are excited to present this camel sculpture with lovely aged leather on hand-carved wood.
It has been made for Liberty's in London.
This full-grown and very realistic dromedary or camel has both great aesthetic and decretive value.
They have been made for the kids of the wealthy people that shopped by Liberty's.
Underneath the leather, the hide is a very well-carved wooden sculpture which is why the sizeable camel has such realistic features.
It is a very realistic sculpture and a good size, it also has the original leather which makes it even rarer.
We feel that the maker of this work of animal art has beautifully captured the look and soul of this majestic desert animal...
