Price History
Description
Designed to accompany Timothy Oulton’s iconic Saddle chair, the Saddle footstool is inspired by the heritage of equestrian pursuit. Buck’d N Brok’n leather is characterised by its distinctive, aged appearance, imbued with the sense of a life fully lived. Craftsmen blend this cracked and damaged look with the leather’s natural softness to create a totally unique, luxurious experience. Each piece developed in Buck’d N Brok’n finish may look slightly different from another. The unique markings and grain patterns on the leather, as well as distressed scratches and abrasions, will vary from piece to piece. The stool comes in luxuriously thick Bull leather with Bull Nubuck accents or in Buck'd. N Brok'n finish for an authentically aged look.
Our Stylist Says
I love this leather footstool for its sturdy, masculine aesthetic and luxurious Nubuck leather finish, which adds a sense of richness and texture to any space. It works particularly well in industrial or vintage-inspired interiors, where its rugged charm can be highlighted, but it also adds an interesting contrast in more contemporary, minimalist settings. Practical styling tips include pairing it with leather or natural fabrics and placing it alongside a comfortable accent chair or sofa to create a cosy, inviting corner. Its compact size makes it versatile for use as a footrest, extra seating, or even a statement side table with a tray on top. Overall, it’s a practical yet stylish piece that elevates both traditional and modern schemes with ease.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
