  • Condition: This item is in good condition, appears to have its original three legs, no apparent repairs, restoration noted, No noted dents, metal failure, cracks, fractures. Not signed/stamped, probably Middle East region,probably made in Mid Century era. Has detailed overall floral vine pattern, pierced sides. Center cup inside of bowl still in place; lid is very tight-fitting; we were not able to remove it. This item is designed to hold coals/embers inside bowl, lid put back on & as metal would warm, so would your feet. We are not sure this was ever used like that, feel it is a very decorative & solid footstool as it is, not sure anyone would want to mess with coals, cleanup, etc. Three decoratively shaped legs are attached w/screws, some brass screws new. Some slight surface scratches and age/use wear noted, with possibly the original patina on metal. Measures: 12.5 " tall, 14.5 " across. Top is slightly concave so that it can be used as a very low seat as well.See photos for details

    FEATURED:  An exotic taste of the immensely popular International Bohemian style in home decor, this beautiful brass tri-legged footstool, with its beautiful stylized vines & floral decoration covering the top, the sides pierced for added charm in the latticework style of walls and windows seen everywhere in the Mediterranean regions, and the sculpted legs balancing the top securely and attractively, is one of those unusual pieces that complement any decor and room, offering you a stool for your feet when you want to relax and read or watch a marathon of Netflix, and also can be a charming petite table that's easily moved around your home, useful for plants, large candles, magazines, a snacks tray, and wonderful in the bath for stacks of fluffy towels, too.  Put a lovely tray on top, and you have an instant mini-cocktail setup at hand when you're too comfy to get out of that down-filled chair and get another drink.!  Made decades ago, in the Middle East where the tradition of hand-crafting metals into exotic, beautiful and timeless home decor items is prized, this desirable footstool will last forever, and be the perfect 'butler's assistant' for you, willing to sit anywhere in your home, outdoors or inside, and do your bidding always.  It is the little, beautiful, unusual things we find that can make such a difference in our daily enjoyment of our homes, isn't it?  Can't make it to Morocco or the Taj Mahal right now?  Bring a taste of that look to you instead!
    MEASURES: 12.5 inches tall, 14.5 inches in diameter across footstool seat; made of brass with stylized overall floral and vines decoration on top, and pieced traditional lattice-work sides. Has three legs fastened with replaced brass screws, everything else is original.  Item appears to have original patina as well, with legs slightly lighter in color and tone.  Solid metal, made in the Middle East, probably either India or East Mediterranean area, where decorative metalwork has a centuries-old history and is valued. Not hallmarked or stamped, typical of items exported to the US from that area of the world.  In lovely vintage condition and an item that will last forever, and be as beautiful when forever comes as it is today!
