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.
Not only are they great foot stools, but many styles are designed as extra seating.
