[QUOTE="Brian Warshaw, post: 4124194, member: 16674"]I bought this stool this afternoon for €4, with the intention of giving it to my daughter to paint and refashion; but looking on Google photos of 3-legged stools found that it has features not displayed by many of the stools I saw: 1 Turned legs of this design 2 Only two leg cross-bars 3 Circular grooves on the seat 4 With some sort of provenance, what might it be worth, repaired, but left in the waxed state? Does this stool have a history or is it modern? Can anyone call out the wood? Would it do better with the application of wax polish than with a brush of Dulux? Height: 42 cm Seat diameter: 27 cm Spread of legs: 2 x 33 cm, 1 x 32 cm Your guidance would be appreciated.
