The ottoman is an interesting piece of furniture which is easily dismissed a a mere
accessory. The word means a number of things, most commonly we mean a low footstool
of the type accompanying a reclining seat but the word can also be used to
mean a low bench, a couch, a divan or a storage box for linen typically used in the bedroom.
The ottoman gets its name from the Ottoman Empire a multi-ethnic state that existed from the
late thirteenth until the early twentieth century. It is an empire which has varied in make-up
and influence but it includes modern Turkey and other middle Eastern , Mediterranean and North
African areas. The word "ottoman" was used to describe furniture items brought back to the West
by tourists or designed to have similar appearance.
We are very proud to be able to offer a good range of these interesting furniture items which add character and comfort to modern or more traditional living areas.
Some are artfully structured while others are more practical with storage options. They also can serve well alongside coffee and end tables in larger seated groupings in a living area, den, or patio. An Ottoman is usually associated with its matching chair or sofa. Their versatility will include service as extra seating or for holding beverages and snacks. The choice of white creates a clean look that is timeless.
