Upholstered Log Box Ottoman c.1890

Delightful late 19th.c ottoman stool or fireside log box with original upholstery c.1890. Serpentine shaped front and sides and with a padded top lifting to reveal useful storage inside. Retaining the original upholstery in dark red velvet with two bands of symmetrical woolwork embroidery featuring winged griffins and acanthus. Brass studs to the edges and a little brass button knob to lift the seat. Moulded and stained walnut plinth around the base and raised on the original wooden wheel castors. Some obvious wear to the surface of the velvet, otherwise very good condition.
