Likely dating to the early 20th century or late 19th century, this humble yet soulful piece is a testament to utilitarian craftsmanship from rural American or European farms.

The stool features a deeply patinated surface, softened by decades of use. Its asymmetrical curves, hand-carved aprons, and weathered edges give it a warm, authentic character that only age can produce. Originally used as a milking stool, shoemaker’s bench, or child’s footrest, these stools were handmade in small batches, often from leftover timber, making each one entirely unique.
