ENGLISH or FRANCO-FLEMISH TURNED WALNUT LONG STOOL

c1680-90

 

English or Franco-Flemish Turned Walnut Stool, c1680-90

 

The rectangular stuff-over seat above four pegged baluster-turned legs joined by conforming turned H-form stretchers;

pegged mortise and tenon construction; upholstered in an "antique" deep salmon crushed velvet

 

Condition : Good to excellent, with wonderful patina; remains of original ebonizing are visible in places;

one long seat rail supported from the interior with a parallel timber (original still in place); 

scattered old worm damage to the feet (expected); the bottom of two feet with replacement timbers;

nicks and scratches appropriate to age and usage

 

Note : 

The stretchers are connected to the legs in the Continental manner of "round block into square block". 

Most English block joinery is” square into square”. 

However, in the late 17th century, many French Huguenot craftsmen had recently immigrated into England,

resulting in some overlapping of constructing techniques.

The English (and European) tradition of the stool is a long one – from peasant to nobility.

Chairs, even until the very late 17th century, were reserved for the head of household – or for Royalty.

There were strict rules in Court regarding seating, even on stools.

and the lost-and-found evolultion of the stool -

the oldest piece of furniture in the world.
