Footstool, 1720-1740
The firm of Ernest LoNano -- active from 1912 into the 1980s -- was known as the premier re-upholsterers of antique American furniture. Museums from coast to coast sought the advice of three generations of LoNanos for accuracy in period upholstery fabrics. The company specialized in adapting historic fabrics for reuse. Here, LoNano refashioned a green silk velvet, now faded, for this 18th-century footstool.
