Nice Form, Nice Patina, Good For Everything Antique Primitive Wooden Stool antique painted tintoy rich and crusty patinaAnother week, another old stool, this 19th century primitive one a perfect pedestal for a grouping of old carved wooden things. It looks from the underside as though it might once have been clad in light blue paint, but very few traces remain; instead, a nice warm dry pine patina. Found in mid coast Maine. 14 1 4" l x 6 1 4" d x 5 7 8" t. Very sturdy and sound. Some darker spotting on a portion of one long side as documented.
