Antique Maison De Wit Embroidered Footstool – Late 19th to Early 20th Century
This rare and exquisite footstool was crafted by Maison De Wit, renowned Belgian manufacturers of fine textiles and tapestries since 1889. Confirmed by the company’s recent correspondence, the piece likely dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century, produced by a predecessor of their current director.
The stool is 30 inches long, 10 inches high, and 8 inches deep, featuring intricate embroidery that exemplifies Maison De Wit’s craftsmanship. The hand-stitched design reflects the artistic elegance of the era, adding charm and historical significance to any space. With over a century of legacy, this footstool offers not only functionality but also serves as a collectible piece of European heritage.
A remarkable find for collectors of antique furnishings or anyone with an appreciation for vintage artistry, this Maison De Wit piece holds both decorative appeal and cultural value. (Recent update. Please see photo of a small snug/tear on embroidered fabric recently identified) Letter also added from Maison De Wit confirming its origin and approximate production era.
