Antique Peasant Spinning Stool in Original Paint
Ref: 4276
An oak painted spinning stool or chair from Transylvania.
The spinning seat would have a longer seat than the normal chair. Peasant women of all ages sat for much of the day creating yarn with their distaff so these chairs would be well used. Transylvanian and Hungarian peasant chairs are a subject
in themselves. Here the typical Baroque ornament is given a twist lending the chair an almost spooky sense of animation.
Transylvania 18th cent.
