19th Century English Oak Joint Stool in the Late 17th Century Style

19th Century English Oak Joint Stool in the Late 17th Century Style A decorative 19th century English oak joint stool, made in the late 17th century style and dating from circa 1850–1900. The stool follows the traditional early form, with a rectangular moulded top above a shaped frieze, turned supports, block feet and low stretchers. It has a good dark oak colour and a pleasingly period appearance, giving the look of an earlier piece while being a 19th century interpretation of the form. Well proportioned and very usable, the stool would work well as a small side table, wine table, lamp stand, bedside piece or fireside accent. It is a decorative and practical piece of country furniture, with attractive turning and a nicely aged surface. Some elements may incorporate earlier oak, though the stool should be regarded overall as a 19th century piece.
