- Decorative reeded / plane cut lines to the seat surface along the long edge of each stool. Both are in a rich and dark colour

These Scottish vernacular stools were of great utility in rural homes for seating by the fire, as a candle stand, small table or workbench.  These are particularly practical as a pair (with the same decorative features and design) although one is slightly shorter than the other.  They also make great chair-side companions of great utility.

Available for a new home for another 130+ years of decorative utility
