Carved wood, believed to be oak foot warmer stool. Made in England and dated ANNO 1872.

It would have been used to hold a bowl of burning coal, thus warming the feet of the person resting their legs on it.

The front has a similar frame with fans and cross hatching and within a tent-like enclosure is a lion rampant (standing on his hind legs), tail curled behind him, a crown on his head and a sword in his front paw (hand?). The next panel, clockwise, contains a large double-walled, patterned, circle with thistles carved in each corner around it. Within the circle is a two headed eagle, each crowned and with another even larger crown above their heads. Wings outspread and torso containing a carved castle turret and archway.
