Here's
a chance to see a bit more detail of the wonderful gold embroidery from the previous
picture, next to a red felt mantlepiece cover.
Small
needlepoint footstools like this one have been popular since Victorian
times. Often small areas of the design were highlighted with beadwork, as we can see here. This is an old stool but copies of this
style have been made ever since that time. Even today you can buy kits
that include all the materials to make the stool, including the wooden
base.
