The rectangular single plank moulded seat having attractive figured oak grain.
Above deep upright gouge carved skirts, with a pretty fine scratch-carved flower over all.

An exceptional 19th Century Australian eucalyptus stool. The thick plank top having good faded colour and patination (note the fiddle back grain to the sides). Supported by four original turned outswept ash legs.
A pair of 19th Century French pine and elm stools of good proportions. The well patinated rectangular pine seats resting on rectangular out swept chamfered legs. Good faded colouring and overall wear.
A matched pair of late 19th Century English ash primitive stools. Each with front canted corners, resting on three Nullo turned gentle sprayed legs. Originally used in the Sheffield Cutlery Manufacturing trade.
The shaped oak top having well worn initials ‘W S’ also underneath resting on three outswept legs one square, one rectanglular and one hexagonal, very quirky!
