This English brass footman, likely late 18th to early 19th century, is a perfect blend of utility and charm. The cabriole legs taper into pad feet, showcasing the craftsmanship of the time, while the scalloped apron adds just the right amount of detail without being overdone. Made of substantial brass, it was built to last and served practical roles near the hearth—warming plates, holding kettles, or even acting as a small step.
Today, it’s just as versatile. Use it as a side table, a plant stand, or a spot to stack books or decor. By the fireplace, it becomes a functional accent that adds a touch of historic charm to any space. The handles make it easy to move around, and the natural patina tells its story without overshadowing its polished elegance. It’s a piece that bridges history and modern style seamlessly.
Condition:
