Description

A good pair of late Regency period beadwork footstools in excellent condition dating from around 1830.

The condition overall is quite remarkable with the beadwork being almost perfect and the original water gilding all intact to the hardwood frames. These are upholstered in teal blue velvet with the intricate beadwork detail being entirely complete to one stool and only a couple of minuscule beads missing from the other (see close up).

The original gilding has a delightful colour and patina .

With the condition being so exceptional these are probably the best examples you will find from this period.

The stools measure 15 cms high by 38 cms in diameter.

UK insured packing and delivery is £25

Date of Manufacture

Rams Head Antiques has dated these Regency Beadwork Foot Stools to the Regency era.

FAQs

The Regency style, spanning from approximately 1811 to 1830 in Britain, is characterised by classical proportions, neoclassical motifs inspired by ancient Greece and Rome, and a distinct emphasis on symmetry and refinement.

These pieces typically utilised carved and gilded wood for the frames, paired with handcrafted textiles such as wool petit point, gros point, or glass beadwork embroidery for the upholstered tops.

Authentic pieces often display hand-carved wooden frames with genuine water gilding, period-appropriate joinery methods, and hand-stitched beadwork or needlepoint featuring motifs consistent with the early 19th century.

Antique foot stools can be placed beside contemporary sofas or armchairs to introduce texture, historical contrast, and a touch of metallic warmth to a living space.

Preservation requires keeping the pieces out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of the textiles and gilding, dusting gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.
