About the Item

Authentic and completely original early 19th century elm wood milking stool with ash wood legs; hand carved and maintaining the original surface with a lovely patina and finish; no restorations or repairs of any kind. Single elm plank top with straight front and curviinear back; suppoirted by three hand carved ash wood legs 1 3/8" diameter tapering to 1 1/8" diameter to wedge into hand carved holes on the top. The stool was used to sit on while milking cows; the three legs giving more stability than four legs on what was probably an uneven floor, most often found in a cowshed or in the field, where they were taken and utilized along with a milk bucket to perform the morning chore of milking a cow. Decorators often use today to place by the hearth to support a potted plant or for a child to sit on, or, to liven up a dead corner as a stand alone Georgian antique. Provenance: I have owned this for nearly 50 years having purchased from a period estate in the North of England. Dimensions: 12 3/4" height 14 1/2" wide 9 1/4" deep 1 3/8" to 1 1/8" legs diameter Note: I am a second generation antiques dealer and have been in business for 50 years; I am also a member of several prestigious antique associations. Thus, I am well qualified to inspect and evaluate the products I offer for sale and I guarantee this to be authentic and as I have described.
