Stool (2) - A Pair of Gothic Revival Rustic Oak Stools - 19th Century - Oak

An exceptional and highly decorative pair of continental Gothic Revival rustic oak or elm stools, showing architectural forms inspired by medieval ecclesiastical designs. Each stool features a heavy rectangular seat supported by splayed, solid wood end panels. The bases are pierced with prominent carved trefoils (three-lobed clover cutouts)—a hallmark of Gothic tracery—and detailed with lancet-arch shaped cutouts at the foot. Supported by shaped corbel brackets underneath the seat, the set displays a heavily textured, dark coffee-colored historic patina. True to rustic craftsmanship, the interior shows authentic signs of age, including historic shrinkage splits, tooling marks, and inert woodworm flight holes that add substantial period character.

Estimate:£417.14
