chips, scratches and abrasions as well as filled age split – some to top;
some old worm damage visible; the usual re-gluing of dried out joints

The English (and European) tradition of the stool is a long one – from peasant to nobility.

Chairs, even until the very late 17th century, were reserved for the head of household – or for Royalty.

There were strict rules in Court regarding seating, even on stools.
