Material: Solid hardwood (possibly pine or oak)
Finish: Hand-finished with a rich, warm stain; shows age and wear beautifully
Era: Likely mid-20th century or earlier
Maker’s Mark:
• Inscribed underneath with “J. Knisely 1969” in hand-painted lettering, indicating the maker and date
• This suggests it may be a one-of-a-kind or small workshop-crafted piece

Design Features:
• Seat: Thick, rounded rectangular seat with visible tool marks, wear, and chipping around the edges—signs of age and use that enhance its rustic character
• Legs: Three tapered, dowel-joined legs splayed for stability; subtly turned and inserted through the seat with exposed pegs
• Construction: Mortise-and-tenon joinery visible; crafted with function and durability in mind, yet with a charmingly uneven handmade aesthetic

This stool is a beautiful example of American folk or rustic craftsmanship—perfect for use as a plant stand, accent table, or part of a layered vignette. See less
