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.
Leathers and fabrics pair with wood and metal framing in a range of exciting styles and colors. Not just for feet any longer, enjoy sitting on one of these as well as to extend your lounging area. They also can serve well alongside coffee and end tables in larger seated groupings in a living area, den, or patio. Choose them as footrests to accompany favorite or matching chairs or when you need extra entertainment seating. Leather has a personality that becomes a special part of any space.
