Antique Country Furniture 19thc Elm & Ash Candlestand .English. C1840.

I can't resist these beautiful small "country" made stools, used to put candles on, to raise the light up to nearer your work and eyes....I have seen a lot with the round marks underneath, from years of use by the lacemaker....the marks being where she has tightened her clamp....this one has an elm top and nicely chamfer shaped legs, made out of ash....it has gained that lovely colour that that elm and ash go after many years of careful domestic use....the stool is in very good condition.

English. C1840-60.
