A Victorian English Glass Beadwork Ladies Footstool

The upholstered panel is secured within a deep, turned wooden frame, likely mahogany, displaying a rich natural patina. The piece is elevated on three white ceramic bun feet, a characteristic feature of domestic furniture from this period. No signatures or manufacturer marks are present. Category: Antique Glass. Diameter: 28 cm. Height: 12 cm.

The stool is offered in aged condition. There is a significant section of loss to the wooden rim, accompanied by a structural crack.
