My dad bought this for my mom in the early seventies at what was a regular auction held at the mission inn, in California. I don’t believe it was ever used as a decorative piece at the inn. I was told it is a sewing stool. Any ideas of when it was made or value?

Hi, sventinker. :-)
Beautiful. <3
FWIW, a search using Google Lens turned up this rather similar stool:
https://www.houtroos.com/categories/1euro-250-euro/item-956579
x insert gothic relance, - fleur pointue- tabouret sacristie/salle d'eau
insert Monmouthshire victorian gothic
insert peg stretching
i tend to late gothic revival the french way instead of the late victorian english way, this got nothing to do with a sewing stool, the top decoration is unknown to me
they try to represent gothic revival period around 1880, that is all i know
apostata, Thank you for looking into this. :-)
My sense of the design in the middle of the top (which could be wrong) is that it might have been a decorative hand hold that made it easier to move the piece from one place to another.
So you think it might be late gothic revival, French, circa 1880.
lack the skill for this and otherwise i have to buy expertise, but yep that, is what i think
very good remark by the way being a handhold never thought of that
looked on chit-chat stools
powder room stools
dignitaries stools ( lower echelons curia, higher echelons got chairs)
the victorian gothic revival pieces are IMO not so elaborate on top
well i can,t talk value here , but this piece need a lot of work
