This Arts and Crafts stool by Gaskall & Chambers shows clear signs of a life well used. With its robust four-leg design, chamfered stretchers and distinctive bulbous feet, it’s a good example of practical early 20th-century utility furniture. The paint-splattered seat adds a layer of character—likely the result of time spent in a workshop or studio.
Functional and full of charm, it makes a handy low seat or small side table, depending on your needs.
