Lovely Mid 19th Century Pine Cricket Stool in Original Paint traditional german elaborately decorated drums and what

elaborately decorated drums and what I believe are likely traditional bamboo trumpets

So that the kids or grandkids know what an old fashioned plug-into-the wall rotary phone looked like

Some surface cracks and irregularities in the stone

not the glass

and that they are terrific to draw with--easy to grip

Lovely Mid 19th Century Pine Cricket Stool in Original Paint traditional german elaborately decorated drums and whatA humble beauty of an old cricket stool, mid 19th century or so, and you likely know by now how much I love a good stool. Made of pine, perfectly aged and smooth from use, with some original blue gray paint still holding on. A lovely thing, better in person, and a perfect pedestal for other lovely things. Top measures 12 1 2" x 6 5 8"; 6 1 2" t. Lovely antique condition, with some shrinkage splitting visible on the underside.
