This is a hand-made vernacular piece and carries the marks of real age and use. The seat has an open shrinkage split running in from the front edge, stable, along with a bright chip and edge losses at the front rim where the surface has worn or knocked away. The seat top shows the wedged round leg tenons and the stave mortise, all sound. The surface has been cleaned and waxed to an even sheen; this is not an untouched original patina. On the underside there are two support battens, one original and oxidized and one a later replacement in fresh wood secured with wire nails. Legs and stave are firm and the stool stands solid. Wood species is assessed from surface appearance and grain and is not confirmed. Date is a construction-based estimate; there is no maker's mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#67\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51482657882390,"sku":"AMD-03506","price":500.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/Belgium_France_Inventory_Continued-10068.jpg?v=1785508895","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/antique-french-folk-art-milking-stool","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
