Russell Stool in Original Distressed Leather

About the Item

The Russell stool, one of Gordon Russell's earliest and most successful Cotswold School designs, featuring pegged construction with an upholstered seat over chamfered splayed legs and stretchers, the aprons with Cupid's bow scalloping. This stool retaining original leather covering, now in a worn but attractive condition. Gordon Russell began making furniture after he returned from the First World War to the village of Broadway, where his family owned the famous Lygon Arms, an ancient coaching inn, and where he set up his workshop. His earliest furniture was in the Arts and Crafts style, such as the present stool, but he was truly a 20th century designer and embraced the use of technology when needed. "Teaching machines manners" is how he summed up his production.
