About the Item

A rare winter accessory from the past This antique foot warmer dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century, a time when homes and carriages were not yet equipped with modern heating systems. Such objects were essential during cold winters, providing warmth and comfort. The piece consists of a solid wooden base with small turned feet, a leather-covered top, and a soft natural sheepskin lining. The decorative trimming along the edges adds a refined touch to what was once a purely functional household accessory. Materials and craftsmanship Base: solid oak or walnut, with small ebonized feet Top: leather covering Lining: natural sheepskin fur Decoration: textile trimming along the edges Its authentic materials and visible signs of age give the object both charm and historical value, making it a perfect collectible for lovers of rustic and folk antiques.Before central heating, families relied on various devices to stay warm. Foot warmers like this were placed under tables, near chairs, or even inside carriages during long winter journeys. The natural insulation of wool and fur kept feet warm for hours.
