A charming early 20th century pine cracket stool

In detail we have the following:

• all original and no repairs

• a vernacular cracket style stool with original rexine cover

• this stool has the traditional cracket style slab ends with the usual 'V' shape cut-outs to produce the legs - very reminiscent of the ends found on 6 plank boarded chests

• a very solid stool of small proportions

• some of the original green-blue paint is in evidence on the inside of the 'V' shaped cut-outs

• on the inside of the stool can be found stamped in black ink in large type 'Kelona Growers, Kelowna British Columbia'. Kelowna is known for its fruit and wine so I assume that the pine for this stool came from used packing cases. The pine is substantial being 20mm thick

• the fabric on the cover of the stool is rexine (an artificial leather) which was extensively used in the period 1920-1950

This is a charming stool of small proportions. Being well made, no repairs were ever necessary: 8 significant brass screws were employed in the construction of the stool. This stool is in a condition commensurate with its age - the fabric is not pristine but there is no need for any re-upholstery work
