Antique Oak Hearth / Fender / Foot Stool / Bench. Oak Wood Frame, Legs and Stretcher. Reupholstered in an Art Nuveaux Chenille.This beautiful piece has a long history. Being an Hearth Stool, it would have been used as a resting place in front of an open fire or close to a range or grate. The timber elements are in wonderful condition. Its clearly been well looked after. I have reupholstered it using an iLiv fabric in a deeply plush carmine. The fabric is of an Art Nouveau design and is a chenille. It has an eye catching shine in certain light which adds to is lustrousness and
