19th Century chair, perfect dog or cat bed or child’s 2 seater or footstool

I just loved the very unusual size and shape of this 19th Century chair and I thought it would be a very smart dog or cat bed or a spacious 2 seater child’s chair, or an unusual footstool. Recently upholstered in a soft linen.

The seat is 19″ deep

Floor to seat 11.5″
