RAREOPPORTUNITY ORIGINAL SHAKER and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE: This is anoriginal and not “Shaker Style.” Here is a ShakerFootstool from the late 1800’s or early 1900’s. The stool has the originalblack paint and may be a combination of pine and maple. It has four smallturned legs with two stretchers. The top is sloped or “canted.” The dimensionsof the stool are approximately 11.5” wide, 11” deep (front to back), 6.5” atits highest and 5.5” at its lowest (front). The stool shows considerable wearand obviously has been used. This stool has served our extended familyhousehold for decades. It is a “working stool” and was not kept purely fordecorative purposes. There are little marks around the sides and front edge ofthe stool which suggest that at some point something may have been attached to it,perhaps a cushion on the top. There is also a white spot on the top which maybe a paint drip. The spot is about a quarter inch in diameter. The stool issound and does not wiggle. All the fittings are tight. This stool has been inour family for at least 85 years; it was only recently that it occurred to usthat it was Shaker. We were visiting the Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village Giftshop in New Gloucester, Maine and sawa stool just like our stool. In order to confirm that it was indeed Shaker, wetook the stool to an “appraisal day” at a prominent sale house and learnedthat it was Shaker. The stool is a “Production” stool “made for sale” to thepublic and is probably from the Mt. Lebanon Shaker Community in New Lebanon, NYbut it could befrom Hancock Shaker Village near Pittsfield, MA. This makes sense. A member ofour family had lived in that general area of Western Massachusetts and upstateNew York for some years. We have decided to sell the stool because we need toseriously \"downsize.\" Please look at the photos and contact us if youhave any questions.
We will ship this to the Lower 48 states. Sorry butno international shipping.
