<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 3581117, member: 5170&quot;]The vast majority of pieces in the 19th century were not signed. Unless the ottoman is so distinctive as to clearly point to a certain manufacturer, and in the absence of tags, stamps, or receipts it will be extremely difficult to say exactly who made it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately I&#039;m not an expert on ottomans and can&#039;t help you with a maker. Honestly, I don&#039;t think it matters much; in your place I would do my best to fix the finish of the wood with Howard&#039;s, and leave the fabric as-is, if possible. It is indeed a real treat to see 150+-year old fabric, especially on something designed to hold feet. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
