About the Item

There’s something magical about the little things—like this petite antique footstool, quietly carrying over a century of stories. Dating to the late 1800s, this heirloom piece features hand-done needlepoint in a rich forest green, adorned with delicate floral blooms. Its carved wooden base, complete with gently scrolled feet, feels rooted in tradition—solid, thoughtful, made to last. This piece was discovered in a historic Virginia home passed down through four generations of women. Tucked into a sunroom near a needlepoint sampler and a stack of old gardening books, it felt like the kind of object that had quietly witnessed decades of daily life—cups of tea, slow mornings, and the gentle passing of time. Whether placed beside a reading chair, under a console, or layered into a cozy cottage corner, it brings instant soul to a space. Not just a footstool, but a small, meaningful link to a quieter past. Signs of age are present, including a small mark on the upholstery and subtle wear to the wood—each one a soft reminder that this piece was loved, not just owned. ⸻
