Early 20th Century Oak Footstool in the Manner of Robert Mouseman Thompson with Antique Lattice Leather Topped Seat

An early 20th century solid oak footstool, designed in the characteristic vernacular style associated with Robert Mouseman Thompson of Kilburn. This antique lattice leather topped stool features a rectangular seat composed of interlaced dark brown leather straps. The frame is constructed from solid oak with four robust ring-turned legs terminating in bulbous feet, all secured by a sturdy double-tiered stretcher base for added stability. The upper leg blocks are square-sectioned and surmounted by distinctive hand-carved rounded finials. The piece exhibits the honest construction and hand-finished quality typical of the English Arts and Crafts movement. 36cm x 40cm x 30cm.
