Shallow buttoning is the making of the Ambergate. Worked evenly across the upholstered top, it draws the fabric into soft, shallow dips that catch the light and give the piece a tailored, considered look without ever tipping into fuss. The top opens smoothly on concealed hinges to reveal generous storage beneath, so the Ambergate does real work in a room as well as looking the part. Deeply padded and finished to a premium standard throughout, it’s a luxury footstool that makes a statement and keeps clutter out of sight at the same time.

You design every detail, from fabric to finish, making the Ambergate as unique as your home. Firstly, choose from a vast range of stunning, high-quality fabrics by some of the finest fabric houses. Then choose from an array of beautifully crafted wooden legs or feet. Finally, personalise the lower edge with your choice of decorative trim, such as piping or metal studs in a range of finishes including gold, chrome, copper, old gold and vintage.

Each Ambergate is handmade with meticulous attention to detail in our workshop, nestled in the heart of the British countryside, built from the ground up with the same time-honoured tools and techniques our family has been using for decades. The frame beneath the upholstery is solid enough that in twenty or thirty years’ time it can be reupholstered rather than replaced — a cherished part of your home for generations.
