| A
small 17th Century style oak joint (or joined) stool measuring 18"
high x 15" long x 11" deep. The legs are turned as simple
Doric columns or 'gunbarrel', as they are sometimes known. This style
of turning was commonplace on furniture from the late 16th Century to
the end of the 18th Century. The addition of astragals (one only in
this case and seen a third of the way down each column), were used until
the middle of the 1700's. The repeat hand carving on the rails is known
as 'Nulling' or 'thumbnail'. This oak joint stool with thumbnail carved rails is now featured on our sister site Early Oak Reproductions with size, colour, finish and price options. |
