About the Item

This Empire-style upholstered ottoman offers a strong, traditional presence with sculptural scroll supports and a substantial platform base. It’s a versatile accent that brings old-world character without feeling overly formal. The base design is rooted in classical traditions—symmetrical, architectural, and grounded—echoing Empire and Neoclassical forms. The wood appears to be mahogany or a mahogany-toned finished wood, with a warm coloration that pairs easily with both antique and transitional interiors. The seat has been reupholstered in a striped textile with decorative trim, giving it a finished, tailored edge. Whether used in front of a chair, at the end of a bed, or tucked under a console, it adds function and texture. The plinth base helps the piece feel stable and substantial, and the carved scrollwork adds visual movement from every angle. It’s equally at home in a traditional living room, a library-style office, or a layered eclectic space. Very good vintage condition overall, showing minor wear consistent with age. Exact date and maker are unknown. Dimensions: 21.5w 17d 23h Condition: age appropriate wear, vintage finish worn, scuffs/scratches, edge wear, discoloration, see photos.
