About the Item

This handmade footstool or candle stool is a very good example of English Country furniture with a lovely polished elm top. This piece is all handmade with a thick rectangular top of solid elm, which is chamfered to its lower edge. The legs are made from ash or elm and are well hand turned, typical of the first half of the 19th century. Provenance: The style and form of the turning on the legs of country chairs and stools can often dictate the area of manufacture and sometimes the exact maker. A similar leg form to this occurs on chairs from the North East Midlands of England - See; The English Regional chair by Bernard Cotton, published by The Antique Collectors Club. This piece is beautifully patinated with a very good figure to the top. We date this piece to the mid/early 19th century, early Victorian period, circa 1840.

19th C Oak Stool with Leather Strap Top all handmade, Arts & Crafts period
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...
