Gorgeous 19th C American Primitive Stool in Original Bittersweet Paint school painting about to either plummet or

about to either plummet or take flight

but overall good condition and really lovely I think

I love it for the font and of course for the word handy--a good thing to have on hand

Gorgeous 19th C American Primitive Stool in Original Bittersweet Paint school painting about to either plummet orFound this week at a favorite antique store in Maine, and I paid fairly for it, but it's among my very favorite stools I've come across, in this best old bittersweet paint, and I sure do love a very old and much loved American stool.

Sturdy and steady sound,
