Product Information
This is a 19th century, English milking stool, with a chamfered rectangular Elm top having a hand painted, Folk Art, country scene on it. It has three turned oak legs that are pegged into the top.
Original hand painted furniture is rare.
We interpret the hand painted scene as two deer, jumping from foliage into what looks like a meadow with tall grass and earth at the sides. There could also be two insects painted on the tops of the front legs where they protrude through the base.
