This large Victorian ottoman stands as a free-standing piece of furniture, dating from around 1850. The wooden frame uses flame-veneered mahogany in a warm brown colour with a rich patina, showing historic marks commensurate with age and use. The rectangular hinged lid holds an original gros-point geometric pattern needlework tapestry top in red, yellow, and beige, displaying some areas of wear. A moulded edge runs along the top, complemented by a conforming mould to the base. The structure rests on low turned compressed bun feet. Measuring 40 cm high, 100 cm wide, and 70 cm deep, the interior provides useful storage. In a contemporary home, this piece suits placement at the foot of the bed or serves as a centre table or coffee table in a living room. The sturdy proportions and traditional English country house style allow it to blend easily with period and eclectic interiors. Buyers seeking a functional storage solution with genuine nineteenth-century character will find this ottoman practical for daily use while adding warmth to a room.

FAQs

Vacuum the needlework gently using a low-suction brush attachment, keep the wood out of direct sunlight to prevent bleaching, and wax the mahogany frame regularly with natural beeswax.

Place the ottoman in front of a sofa as a central coffee table alternative, or situate it at the foot of a bed to serve as decorative storage while adding textural contrast.

Authentic pieces feature hand-stitched tapestry work, dovetail jointing on the interior mahogany framing, original brass or cast iron hinges, and hand-turned bun or flattened disc feet.

Mid-Victorian ottomans were predominantly crafted with solid mahogany or walnut frames, turned bun feet, and upholstered with gros-point or petit-point wool needlework.

Originating in the 19th century, Victorian ottomans were low, padded seats or footstools, often featuring hinged lids for interior storage and upholstered tops incorporating needlework or woolwork tapestries.
