This is a very attractive, unusual and original English foot stool from very early in the Victorian period of the 19th century, circa 1840.
The foot stool has a rare and very decorative octagonal shape, the frame being made from walnut over a softwood frame. The walnut has a lovely mellow colour and patination from over 150 years of use. The stool has three original white ceramic bun feet. 
It has been re-upholstered in a woven floral tapestry fabric with gold braiding fixed around the lower edge.
Overall a good and unusual, early Victorian, octagonal shaped footstool
