A Fine and Extremely Rare James I Oak Joint Stool

The single board top, having a triple moulded edge, is secured to the run-moulded side rails by four square oak pegs.

The legs are quite outstanding – having a good circumference and being of a cup and cover design. They are embellished with long reeded decoration, sometimes known as “flutes”, hence the name a fluted leg stool.

The bottom of the leg is turned in a “reel”, which has scratch decoration around the middle. The legs are joined by an extremely wide run moulding.

A wonderfully rare stool, in fine original condition, and of a superb, rich colour.

English, circa 1620.

Width 18 inches, depth 11 inches, height 22 inches.
