Gorgeous 19th C American Primitive Stool in Original Bittersweet Paint antique graphite drawings Beautifully carved all the wayFound 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,
