An Anglo-Flemish oak boarded stool
An Anglo-Flemish oak boarded stool, c.1575, with ogee aprons having shaped sides on trestle end supports united by a conforming stretcher, on moulded end platforms with later blocks, 25.75in (65.5cm) h, 23.5in (59.5cm) w, 11.75in (30cm) d. There is a nail in the inside edge of one of the supports, probably acting as a hook to hide a purse?
