About the Item

A beautiful Elizabethan long stool with carved entwined mythical beasts carved in the solid and continuous with the flared carved slab feet, The oak of a fantastic rich colour with wonderful natural patination that glows. These carved ends united by the original very finely shaped and chamfered stretcher in the Gothic manner. The stool has an oak and deal box top – a wide long and slender single oak board with oak upstands and a deal top (additional photos available on request). This top may be a later replacement and I have priced the stool in consideration of this, but equally it may be the original box top if the stool was always intended to be upholstered. The finest Elizabethan seat furniture was upholstered in fine silks, tapestries and velvets - the seat pads stuffed with straw and feather. The stool is extremely heavy and robust and of well balanced proportions. It is a good height and well padded so very comfortable to use. The stool has been newly upholstered in a Gainsborough Silk Weaving Company tapestry which is made to order at £280 per meter and is a stunning quality thick upholstery fabric of a design copied from an early English piece of tapestry. This is a beautiful, rare and very early oak stool of superb quality and artistry with wonderfully carved supports and a stretcher of Gothic form – a truly beautiful piece that really draws the eye and a wonderful focal point in any room. Dimensions are: 36 inches wide, 12 inches deep and 19 inches high.
