This antique Queen Anne style stool, dating from the 1900-1920 period, is made in England from warm brown walnut with a re-polished finish showing a gorgeous patina. The piece features a neatly shaped apron supporting a top re-upholstered in plain cream cotton fabric. The structure stands securely on cabriole legs detailed with carved shell motifs at the knees and finished with simple pad feet. The overall dimensions measure 49 cm high, 61 cm wide, and 49 cm deep. In a modern home, this practical piece serves multiple purposes in various rooms. It works well positioned at the foot of the bed or used as a dressing table stool in a bedroom. The compact proportions also allow it to sit comfortably next to a chair in a living space or as an occasional seat in a hallway, offering both functional seating and traditional English country house character.

FAQs

Stools from the Queen Anne and early Georgian eras are characterised by graceful proportions, cabriole legs, curved aprons, and carved motifs such as scallop shells. Walnut was the predominant wood of choice during the early 18th century prior to the widespread import of mahogany.

These stools typically feature solid or veneered walnut frames crafted with traditional mortise and tenon joinery. Original upholstery bases relied on natural materials such as jute webbing, horsehair padding, and hand-stitched linen.

Authentic period design elements include hand-carved knee details such as shell motifs, pad feet or ball-and-claw feet, and gentle shaping along the apron. Evidence of hand-sawing on the underside frame and natural age patina on the timber also indicate age.

An antique footstool provides warmth and textural contrast when placed alongside modern armchairs, at the foot of a bed, or positioned near a fireplace hearth. Neutral upholstery allows the timber grain and carved details to complement contemporary colour palettes.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply a beeswax polish annually to nourish the wood and maintain its original patina. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage or cracking, and spot-clean fabric with specialist cleaners.
