A gout stool is a specialised piece of 19th-century invalid furniture featuring an angled, adjustable platform designed to elevate and support the foot or leg of someone suffering from gout or mobility issues.

These pieces typically feature a solid hardwood frame, most commonly mahogany or walnut, joined with traditional woodworking techniques, mounted on brass castors, and upholstered with wool tapestry or needlepoint over horsehair stuffing.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the timber ageing, hand-cut joinery, original brass or ceramic castors, hand-forged fixings, and period-appropriate textile wear and stuffing materials.

This piece works well positioned beside an armchair or sofa in a study or living room, adding historic character and texture through its patterned upholstery while serving as a functional low foot rest.

Keep the item out of direct sunlight to prevent textile fading and timber drying. Regularly vacuum the fabric gently using a low suction attachment and nourish the wooden frame periodically with appropriate microcrystalline wax.
