Literature:
See Oak Furniture, The British Tradition, by Victor Chinnery, figs 4:71 and 4:78 which both have similar carved friezes, and figs 4:62 and fig ixa, page 568, which have similar, turned legs. All these, Chinnery ascribes to early 17th century Salisbury.
See also Early British Chairs and Seats, 1500 -1700 by Tobias Jellinek, plates 287, 299 and 307, which show stools with similar turning to the legs, 307 described as “ sausage and cotton reel” turnings.
