hand carved and hand painted, highly decorative square format, stout wooden foot stool or ottoman. It has its original painted surfaces which are dry and matte finished. There's some surface wear from previous use but by and large, the footstool has survived its
80 to 100 year
lifespan in fairly well-preserved overall antique condition. The hand painting is quite exuberant and extraordinary, with gestural, kinetic mark-making, using a central floral medallion painted on the interior basin and a meandering vine and repeating blooming flower motif along the outside perimeter of the footstool on its narrow sidewalls. The surface of the table, since it's slightly recessed and surrounded by a raised, elevated edge, could accommodate a panel of square cut glass to protect the painted surfaces below.
