This candle stool is a very good example of English Country furniture with a lovely polished elm top. 
The thick rectangular top is made of solid elm and has a lower chamfered edge. The legs are made from ash or elm and are well turned, typical of the first half of the 19th century.
Provenance:
The style and form of the turning on the legs of country chairs and stools can often dictate the area of manufacture and sometimes the exact maker. A similar leg form to this occurs on chairs from the North East Midlands of England - See; The English Regional chair by Bernard Cotton, published by The Antique Collectors Club.
This piece is beautifully patinated with a very good figure to the top.
We date this piece to the mid/early 19th century, early Victorian period, circa 1840.
