A brass footman or brass riser is a type of furniture piece that was primarily used in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly during the Georgian and Victorian periods. It typically functioned as a small, low platform or stool, often made of brass or wood with brass accents, and was used in a variety of ways in both domestic and public spaces.
The footman was originally designed as a small stool or stand placed near a chair or sofa. It served as a place for the user to rest their feet while sitting or to keep items like shoes or slippers.
In addition to this primary function, a footman or riser could also be used to support fireplace tools or logs in the hearth, often positioned by the fireplace for added utility.
The brass footman was typically ornate and decorative, with intricate designs that reflected the taste and status of the owner.
