Lovely Mid 19th Century Pine Cricket Stool in Original Paint antique woven paper sampler and that electrified looking catA humble beauty of an old cricket stool, mid 19th century or so, and you likely know by now how much I love a good stool. Made of pine, perfectly aged and smooth from use, with some original blue gray paint still holding on. A lovely thing, better in person, and a perfect pedestal for other lovely things. Top measures 12 1 2" x 6 5 8"; 6 1 2" t. Lovely antique condition, with some shrinkage splitting visible on the underside.
