A carved giltwood and needlework upholstered foot stool

A carved giltwood and needlework upholstered foot stool, late 17th/early 18th century and later, the dished and padded top decorated with a couple in a rural landscape, above the pierced scrolling foliage apron centred by a crown, on moulded scroll legs, 27cm high, 54cm wide, 43cm deep Condition Report: Marks, scratches and abrasions, old chips and splits comensurate with age and use.Some old repairs. some minor old losses. Wear, chipping and some loss to gilt/ gesso surface. Some old worm holes in a relatively small number (see additional images) The underlying pine rail to the fixed cushion section is likely later but of significant age. The needlework to the seat appears to be mid 18th century and later in date, therefore is later associated to the earlier carved giltwood frame. The shaped element of the seat/needlework covered element may also not be original to the giltwood frame. There is wear to the needlework and old losses (see images) The braiding at the edge of the needlework is loose in areas and probably later associated. No breaks or splicing to the legs apparent. The frame is generally of solid structure. Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition. Condition Report Disclaimer
