Webberley Antiques has dated these Queen Anne Walnut Stools to the 17th Century.
The fact that they have survived over 300 years in such original and solid condition is a testament to the maker’s skill and knowledge of timber.
The stools are tenon and peg jointed throughout and all of the pegs are original.
The original horse hair seat pads have been retained with traditional webbing below and upholstered in House of Hackney
“Artemis” velvet fabric which retails at £160 per meter and is a beautifully vibrant flowers against a sage green ground.
This heavyweight fabric is finished with a tassel and tied braid and the original hand carved oak roundhead fixings with shaped oak spikes.
The seats are well padded and comfortable and the stools are robust and solid with a good weight and no loose joints and with only minor knocks and scuffs and a few old worm holes here and there – very few and long since dead.
Very strongly recommended, a remarkably rare true pair of early 17th Century stools in excellent original condition throughout.
Dimensions are:
19.5 inches tall, 15.5 inches deep and 18 inches wide.
