Early C19th Cobbler’s Work Stool

19th century
Description

This item is a 19th-century workbench and chair, traditionally used for shoe making and repair. The front wooden block features a metal ring and an opening designed to fit an iron shoe last, enabling the cobbler to efficiently work on footwear.

The piece is handmade and shows signs of old inactive woodworm, which have been treated for added assurance.

Such tools seldom endure the effects of prolonged use, making them rare. Their historical significance and distinctive craftsmanship contribute to their appeal in both contemporary and traditional interiors.

Dimensions: 50cm x 15cm x 43cm h

We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

An antique cobblers work stool is a specialised piece of utilitarian vernacular furniture designed for shoemakers during the 18th and 19th centuries, featuring a low seat and an integrated post or anvil mount.

These stools were constructed using heavy hardwoods such as oak, elm, or beech, assembled with mortise and tenon joinery, and fitted with iron elements to endure heavy daily hammering.

Authentic pieces feature signs of manual wear, hand-cut joinery, timber shrinkage around joints, and natural iron oxidisation, reflecting functional use rather than modern machine production.

A cobblers bench serves effectively as a low sculptural accent piece, a plant stand, or a decorative side feature in country rustic and contemporary interiors.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a dry brush and applying a thin coat of clear microcrystalline wax to protect the grain without altering the historical patina.
