Description:
For vernacular cabinetmakers and craftsmen during the 18th century, it was necessary to re-purpose earlier 16th and 17th century furniture, such as chests, coffers and chairs into new items required for the home, as craftsmen only had access to local materials. You could say this was the original form of upcycling!
The stool benefits from a two-piece moulded top with nice overhand, above a lunette carved frieze and stands on four splayed ring turned knop legs on block feet, united by four bar stretchers, for additional strength, terminating on block feet. The stretchers are decorated with primitive chip-edge carved detail. The stool has been made with traditional wooden peg joined construction. The stools have been waxed polished by hand, to a professional standard in our workshop, therefore the colour and patination are of an excellent standard. The stool is solid in joint and ready to use.
Condition Report:
The table was fashioned in the style of a mid-17th century Carolean period stool, using earlier timbers. For vernacular cabinetmakers and craftsmen during the 18th century, it was necessary to re-purpose earlier 16th and 17th century furniture, such as chests, coffers and chairs into new items required for the home, as craftsmen only had access to local materials. You could say this was the original form of upcycling! Nominal old use marks to the tops, leading edges and legs, but nothing significant considering the age of the item (see photos). There are no breaks to the frames or legs. Signs of historical woodworm to the stretchers, which has been thoroughly treated. The stool has been made with traditional wooden peg joined construction out of solid oak. The stool has been wax-polished by hand, to a professional standard in our workshop, therefore the colour and patination are of an excellent standard. The joint stool is well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
