Antique French Petit Point Embroidered Footstool 11.5"Diam × 7.5"H

"There is a small tear in the center of the floral design, exposure of the mesh canvas base, color fading, and wear visible in some areas."
This elegant footstool is a rare perfectly round small-sized embroidered piece featuring characteristics of the Napoleon III style (Second Empire) from the late 19th century. The wooden frame has been carefully used and is in good condition with minimal damage. The top displays intricate petit point embroidery (canvas work) with a floral pattern, but due to long-term use, there is a small tear in the center of the floral design, as well as exposure of the mesh canvas base, color fading, and wear visible in some areas. The wooden frame is intricately hand-carved, with refined legs at the four corners. Black decorative buttons and golden trim cord around the frame add an elegant touch to this piece.
