A characterful Victorian elm and ash country stool, circa 1850 to 1890, of the type often called a dairy, milking or workshop stool, and of tall, very appealing proportions. The solid circular seat is deeply dished and cut from a single piece of elm, with a softly moulded edge and a lovely rippled figure to the grain. It sits above four splayed legs, each turned with a neat band of ring decoration and tapering to bold, swelling feet, joined by a simple crossed stretcher that adds strength and a pleasing sense of structure. The timber has aged to a deep, rich chestnut brown with a soft, glowing patina, and the seat carries the gentle polish and honest wear you would expect of a piece that has been sat on and enjoyed for well over a century. At this height it is wonderfully adaptable, equally useful at a kitchen counter or breakfast bar, at a desk or workbench, or simply as a characterful perch or plant stand in a hallway or sitting room. Honest, sturdy and full of rustic charm, a most appealing stool in good original condition.
