Milking Stool with original Hand Painted Folk Art Scene, English 19th Century

About the Item

This is a 19th century, English milking stool, with a chamfered rectangular Elm top having a hand painted, Folk Art, country scene on it. It has three turned oak legs that are pegged into the top. Original hand painted furniture is rare. We interpret the hand painted scene as two deer, jumping from foliage into what looks like a meadow with tall grass and earth at the sides. There could also be two insects painted on the tops of the front legs where they protrude through the base. The colors are mainly burnt orange/red, green, orange, white and possibly black, with a burnt orange border. We consider the stool to be 19th century English, from the Victorian period, circa 1870. The top is well patinated with some wear from natural use, resulting in quite a lot of wear to the painted design in some places. Please see the images.

  • Handmade Oak Stool with Leather Strap Top, Arts & Crafts Late 19th Century
    Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
    This is a good handmade stool with a well turned solid oak frame and a woven leather strap top, all dating to the Arts & Crafts period of the late 19th century. The stool is made of solid oak. The frame joints into four legs with ring turned detail and with four jointed rectangular cross stretchers between the legs, making this a very strong construction. The seat top is made of interwoven reddish-brown leather straps which sit on fabric webbing below the leather and give additional support to the seat. The seat is finished off with four narrow leather strips that run along the lower seat edge, one on each side, that are secured by brass nail studs. The stool has developed a good patina from age and use and the reddish-brown leather has a deep natural mature shine, only achieved by repeated polishing and use over the years. This piece is made in the 17th century Jacobean style but we date the stool to the late 19th century, made in the English Arts & Crafts period of the late 19th century. Please note the images are taken both indoors and outdoors in different light conditions. Notes on English leather topped seating Leather covers on English seating dates back to the middle ages and the 16th century. Mature leather seats can be as tough and polished as the wood of the frame itself. During the reign of Elizabeth 1st...
