 STOOL IN OLD PAINT
This is a very nice wooden stool in wonderful old salmon paint.  The under side of the slab top is scattered with old holes and tool marks.  Looks like it was used as a work surface at some time.  The sides have some holes from times past when the stool was upholstered.  Judging by what I can see, it looks as though this stool may have been upholstered originally then the upholstery removed and the stool painted and then it may have been upholstered several more times.  When we bought it, the upholstery was no longer in existence.   The salmon paint is early and the stool has a wonderful surface.  The top measures 13 1/2" X 6 3/4".  It stands about 6 3/4" tall.
