A fine and highly decorative 17th Century English oak joint stool, circa 1680, of wonderfully traditional country-house form. The stool has a rectangular oak top with softly rounded moulded edges, raised above a substantial joined oak frame with simple moulded decoration to the frieze. Particularly attractive are the four beautifully proportioned ring and baluster turned legs, terminating in square blocks and united by substantial low stretchers. This type of joined construction was a mainstay of English domestic furniture during the 17th century, with closely comparable stools surviving in important collections and specialist archives. The oak has developed a particularly pleasing contrast of colour, with the lighter, beautifully figured top sitting above the rich deep-brown frame. The top displays pronounced grain, knots and the numerous little marks and imperfections that give early oak furniture so much character, while the base retains an attractive mellow surface with considerable wear around the stretchers and feet. The visible pegged construction, substantial rails and traditional turned supports are all characteristic features of early joined furniture. BADA records a c.1640 example with a pegged top, baluster-and-peg turned legs and straight stretchers, demonstrating the long-established construction tradition from which this stool derives. A wonderfully usable piece of early English vernacular furniture, equally suited as a traditional stool or used today as a small side table, lamp stand or fireside piece. The combination of strong architectural turning, compact proportions and centuries of accumulated character makes these early stools particularly appealing in both period and contemporary interiors.

A Very Charming Mid 17th Century, Charles II Period, Oak Joint Stool Of Pegged Construction, Plus Untouched Colour & Patina Throughout, Having Rectangular Moulded Top Over Turned Upright Supports With Original Straight Stretchers. Sometimes referred to as coffin stools (although this was much more of a 19th century trend for their usage as opposed to their original purpose in earlier times) the humble antique joint stool was by far the most common form of seating in 16th and 17th century England. Indeed they were made in relatively vast quantities and almost every house would have a selection of them on hand in a variety of difference sizes and heights so that they could be used as required.

Fine Antique Queen Anne Oak and Elm Joint Stool, circa 1700

Fine Antique Queen Anne Oak and Elm Joint Stool, circa 1700

Located in Nottingham, GB

Fine Queen Anne Oak and Elm Joint Stool, circa 1700 Material: Oak, Elm A charming and highly original Queen Anne period joint stool dating to circa 1700, traditionally constructed from oak and elm and displaying wonderfully warm colour and a beautifully established natural patina. The stool retains its original timbers throughout together with its original pegged joints, preserving the integrity and character of its early construction. The well-shaped original seat board and distinctive turned barrel legs are crafted from oak, while the seat rails and substantial supporting stretchers are constructed from elm. This combination of native timbers gives the stool considerable visual character and reflects traditional provincial furniture-making techniques of the period. The four turned barrel legs are united by blocked stretchers, creating a strong and robust framework. The subtly splayed stance provides additional stability while giving the stool an attractive and well-balanced silhouette. The timber has developed a particularly appealing warm and rich colour over more than three centuries, with natural variations in grain, tone and historic surface contributing greatly to its character. Of wonderfully useful proportions, the stool can function as traditional seating while also serving as a small occasional table, decorative stand or bedside piece within both period and contemporary interiors. Presented in excellent antique condition considering its circa 1700 origin. The stool remains sturdy and solid, with a small historic surface shake to the edge of one stretcher. This does not extend through the timber and is old and stable. The survival of the original timbers, pegged construction and beautifully aged surface makes this a particularly appealing example of early English provincial furniture...
