When examining these rare, early boarded stools, the viewer is always acutely aware of the construction which is amongst the earliest of furniture forms. The offered lot demonstrates beautifully the skill of an early master joiner and a real sense of 'truth to material'. The buttress shaped trestles are of strong architectural figuration, Herbert Cesinsky in his seminal text, Early English Furniture and Woodwork, London, 1922, p.172, writes that the form these special pieces take is a 'full expression of the manner and constructive methods of the time'.
