A small walnut footstool from Pennsylvania, found in Lancaster County. The top is a single board with four wedged through-tenons showing on its surface, where the splayed legs are mortised into it. The legs flare outward for stability, and the apron boards are cut with a shallow arch and a small scroll detail. The wood has a warm, old surface with the wear you’d expect from years of use.

At 13.5" wide, it works as a footstool, a bedside step, a bench for a hall or fireplace, or a low display stand for books, plants, or baskets. It suits farmhouse, traditional, and Americana interiors.
