Crusty, Sculptural Old White Painted Cricket Stool grecian sculpture but once I dumped them

but once I dumped them out and started to play with them

and sense of internal glowing-ness to the blue mountain and water and sky

A little paint is apt to flake off in handling

I was just immediately attracted to the look of it

Crusty, Sculptural Old White Painted Cricket Stool grecian sculpture but once I dumped themI'm forever searching for old handmade stools with lots of character and this one reads to me as much as sculpture as it does functional object, though having stood on this one a few times hanging pictures high on the wall, I can say it very functional, too. Satisfying construction, especially the way those diagonal supports meet the grooves cut into the top and legs, perfectly crusty old white paint, and beautifully softened edges from time and use.
