17th-century oak joint stool with turned legs – England
English 17th-century joint stool in solid oak
A genuine joint stool from the 17th century: a stool of solid oak with mortise-and-tenon joints secured with wooden pegs (hence ‘joined’). The four slightly splayed legs are finely turned, the rails beneath the top have a shaped lower edge and the moulded top has a beautiful, deep patina.
Why we chose this stool
17th-century furniture that is still this complete and sturdy is becoming ever harder to find. This joint stool has exactly what we look for: honest craftsmanship, traces of more than three centuries of use and a colour that cannot be faked.
Style and interior
Perfect as a side table next to a sofa or bed, as a stool in the hallway or as a plant stand. It feels at home in a wabi sabi, country, English cottage or 17th-century Dutch interior, and instantly gives a modern home character.
Condition
Sturdy and perfectly usable. The top shows old shrinkage cracks, an inserted peg and the signs of use you would expect from a piece of furniture of this age.
