Old Handmade Stool with Great Lines in Glorious Original Blue Paint master key stamped 1890

stamped 1890

and it reminded me of how infrequently I find modern sculpture of a substantial scale that I really like when I am out hunting for things

to me just completely gorgeous

I purchased this one from a great dealer at Brimfield

And maybe he's out hunting for antiques to fill his basket

Old Handmade Stool with Great Lines in Glorious Original Blue Paint master key stamped 1890Among my favorite stools I've found, in no small part due to this fantastic original blue paint, but also for the its graceful form and lightness on its feet and the not quite perfectly rounded arches cut into its sides. And everything looks pretty sitting atop it. 15" l x 7 1 2" w x 8" t. Earlyish 20th c. I would guess, better in person, sturdy and sound and level.
