A vernacular farm stool of traditional form, featuring a thick single‑piece elm seat on four square, tapering legs, all through‑tenoned and visible at the seat surface. The stool is further strengthened by a transverse stretcher, through‑tenoned between the legs. The stool retains its original surface throughout, with pronounced patination, wear, and character consistent with dairy or agricultural use. This stool was last found in use in a field in Yeovil, used as a seat by seed planters. A rare and honest survival of rural furniture, untouched and unrefined, valued for both its sculptural presence and authenticity. L 29.5cm, W 14.5cm, H 21cm Provenance: English Materials: Elm seat; legs and stretcher likely ash Date: c. 1780–1840
