Lovely Little Antique Stool with Scalloped Sides unique whimsy as if they are old

as if they are old friends and this happens everyday

which I'd guess dates to the 1930s or so based on others I've seen

he's about the best creature I've seen

and a marvelous interplay of dark silk and handmade black lace for her dress

He'll stand sturdy with his feet positioned in the recesses

Lovely Little Antique Stool with Scalloped Sides unique whimsy as if they are oldSo hard to pass by a sweet old stool, and this one, found in Maine, feels extra special for its diminutive scale a perfect pedestal for carved whimsies or figures or other smallish things. It looks to me as though it was once painted as there is some creamy white paint on the heads of the old nails, but no other paint visible anywhere, just a great warm dry wood patina. 19th c. New England I believe. 10 1 4" x 4 1 2" x 5 t. Excellent antique
