Antique Spinning Stool in Original Paint
Ref: 4253
An antique peasant spinning chair or stool in original red paint. The legs are original and delightfully expressive so too the overall tilt of the piece giving it a sense of animation. This is intentional, the peasant chairs of Transylvania are a subject in themselves and they play with anthropomorphic or zoomorphic suggestions in the carving of the back rests, the asymmetry makes them alive. This one has an especially thick seat in ash.
