Description :

Charming vintage round pouf/ottoman featuring a plush gray velvet lower body with gathered vertical sections and a tapestry-style floral upholstered top. Finished with an elaborate band of decorative tassel fringe in coordinating neutral tones. The floral motif and luxurious trim give it a wonderful French Provincial/Victorian-inspired appearance.

Your comparison appears extremely close in overall construction, including the rounded upholstered form, segmented velvet base and distinctive heavy tassel fringe. The comparable is identified as a 1960s French Provincial/Victorian pouf, reportedly made in Japan.

Approx. Measurements
Approximately 19 in. diameter x 19 in. tall, based on the closely matching comparable. Measurements should be confirmed.

Condition
Good vintage pre-owned condition with age-appropriate wear. Upholstery shows some fading, discoloration and general surface wear. Tassel fringe remains largely intact with visible age/use wear. Bottom shows expected wear. Please review photos for condition.

Historical Note
Decorative poufs like this became fashionable accent furniture during the mid-20th century, particularly in interiors influenced by French Provincial, Hollywood Regency and Victorian revival design. The elaborate tapestry upholstery, velvet and tassel fringe are characteristic of the highly decorative styles popular during the 1950s–1960s.

Estimated Value
150–300
