Weathered Old Wooden Ottoman

This was the only photograph I took on a recent afternoon at Willowpool Gardens. I found the intricate carved detailing very eye catching, especially when contrasted against the green moss and weathered look to the wood. This might once have been someones pride and joy, sat at the foot of their bed. Today it stands in a dark corner of a salvage yard and garden centre. I can only wonder about its history and where it came from.
