Lovely Mid 19th Century Pine Cricket Stool in Original Paint antique woven paper sampler bot a bit detractingA 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.
