This is a striking vintage red & white checked leather footstool being sold in support of Cornwall Hospice Care*.  It has great 1950s styling with its tapered legs and gold-coloured metal feet.

There’s a low starting bid of £4.99 as it’s not in pristine condition. However, with a little elbow grease and leather cream it should come up very nicely.

*Cornwall Hospice Care provides skilled medical care and support for people living with a life limiting illness in an unhurried, safe and trusting environment and gives practical and emotional support to their loved ones and carers.
