Finding comfort and style in every step, the footstool takes on various forms throughout history. From ancient manuscripts to modern-day furniture, it remains a symbol of relaxation and support. In the early 8th century Codex Amiatinus, Ezra the scribe diligently writes in a large codex held on his knees, perhaps finding solace in a makeshift footstool. Meanwhile, a young lady indulges in self-care as she gives herself a pedicure, her feet resting comfortably on a plush footstool. Silhouetted against an armchair, another woman finds respite after a long day. The footstool serves as her loyal companion while she unwinds and enjoys some well-deserved relaxation. Stepping back in time to 1935/1942, Albert J. Levone's creation of the Foot Stool showcases its timeless appeal. Crafted with care and attention to detail, this piece adds elegance to any space. Magnus S. Fossum's mahogany foot stool with horse hair covering from around 1939 exudes sophistication and luxury. Its exquisite design invites one to put their feet up and bask in ultimate comfort. Alexander Anderson's Foot Stool from 1938 embodies simplicity yet functionality - proving that even the most basic designs can provide utmost convenience. The frontispiece illustration from The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club depicts characters gathered around an inviting fireplace with their feet propped up on cozy footstools - fostering warmth both physically and emotionally. From baby elephants shaking rattles to Kalmuk high priests donning traditional attire complete with ghepi hats - even they find use for these versatile pieces. A testament to their universal appeal across cultures and generations. Lastly, we travel back to c. 1850 where wood meets brass & Berlin woolwork in an intricately designed footstool masterpiece. This historical artifact not only offers support but also showcases the craftsmanship of its time.
