EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning footstool from the mid-19th century, housed in The Geffrye Museum of the Home in London. Crafted with exquisite attention to detail, this wooden footstool features brass curly paw feet that add an elegant touch. However, what truly sets it apart is the intricate Berlin woolwork embroidery adorning its surface. The centerpiece of this embroidery is a trio of delicate pink roses, surrounded by a star-shaped border resembling a ribbon. The sides are also adorned with beautifully embroidered roses, leaves, and scroll motifs. To complete its lavish design, the footstool is trimmed around the edge with red and cream chenille braid. Measuring 24x24 cm, this footstool exemplifies Victorian-era craftsmanship and serves as both a functional piece of furniture and an exquisite work of art. Its floral motif brings nature indoors while adding a touch of elegance to any space. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images, viewers can appreciate not only the detailed needlework but also gain insight into historical societies' appreciation for decorative objects like this footstool. With its combination of woodwork, metal accents, and vibrant embroidery on display against a clean white background, it becomes clear why this piece has become such an important part of cultural heritage at The Geffrye Museum.
