A gout stool is a specialised piece of 18th and 19th-century furniture designed with an adjustable ratcheted mechanism to elevate and support an inflamed foot or leg.

These stools were predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany or oak to ensure structural stability, featuring wooden ratchet tracks and upholstered pads.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut notched timber tracks, period-appropriate joinery, original turned feet or castors, and expected age-related wear to the wooden framework.

An antique gout stool serves as an engaging historical accent when positioned alongside a reading chair, within a study, or near a fireplace as an occasional footrest.

Maintain the mahogany frame by dusting with a soft cloth and applying natural beeswax occasionally, while gently vacuuming the velvet upholstery with a soft brush attachment.
