Vintage sewing pouffe with storage – tapestry and fringe, 1960s–70s

Vintage sewing pouf with storage – tapestry fabric and fringe, 1960s–70s

A round pouf with storage, also known as a sewing pouf, sewing stool, tabouret or storage footstool. The pouf is upholstered in tapestry fabric with bouquets of roses and acanthus scrolls in soft shades of pink, beige, green and purple, has a thick rim of green velvet and all around a long, twisted bullion fringe in golden green. The upholstered lid rests loosely on the rim and can be lifted with a green tab; underneath is a white plastic container with a removable compartment tray, ideal for sewing supplies, thread and bobbins. The pouf stands on small wooden feet.

Why we chose this piece

This pouf is a delightful piece of nostalgia: a seat, footstool and storage box in one. The combination of tapestry, green velvet and the generous fringe gives it a cheerful, almost theatrical look, and the compartment tray is still complete.

Style and interior

This sewing pouf suits a vintage, romantic, brocante or eclectic interior. Lovely in the bedroom by a dressing table, next to a reading chair as a footstool, in a sewing room or studio, or as an extra seat in the living room or hallway.
