Seller: thefortuneseller ✉️ (960) 100%, Location: Edinburgh, GB, Ships to: GB & many other countries, Item: 404870791987 Victorian Gout Stool, Antique Rocking Footstool, Horse Hair Stuffing, Embroidery. A fine and sturdy antique Victorian rocking footstool (also known as a gout stool as the rocking motion was said to bring relief to the joints afflicted by gout). With original upholstery fabric, hand embroidered in a colourful geometric pattern, resembling fish scales, resting on wooden rocking legs that have been skillfully assembled with no nails involved. Stuffed with black horse hair which you can see poking through in a couple of places. Trim attached to the back of the chair with some of the original hand cut nails still in place. Measuring: 39cm in height, 61cm in length, 33cm in width. Weighs: 4.2kg. No doubt a well appreciated and used object, wear can be seen both on the upholstery and the wooden frame. The upholstery fabric has significant wear towards the middle of the chair where heels would rest. There, the embroidery thread had mostly disappeared and the fabric is completely worn out in a couple of places. One leg has a split with an old repair, where it was most likely glued and a slotted screw has been driven through the wood to secure the repair. There are various marks and scoffs on the wooden frame. Some of the original nails holding the trim in place have been replaced with thumb tacks. Please see the detailed photos for a better understanding of the stool's condition. I always over-pack my items to make sure they get safely and undamaged to their destination. This will be no exception. Sent tracked and insured locally and through GSP internationally.
