English brass footman made for warming dishes by the fire or alternatively as a step ladder. Ideal for your dressing room for those top shelves…
The footman is a British term for a metal stand, usually of polished steel or brass, and either oblong or oval in shape, for keeping plates and dishes hot before a dining room fire. A footman was useful prior to the early 20th century, before hot water was easily obtained, and when open fires were common. (ref wikipedia)
