A William & Mary walnut stool

A William & Mary walnut stool, circa 1690, the rectangular top with padded and upholstered drop in seat, above the arcaded apron frieze, on turned supports and peripheral stretchers, 42cm high, the top 46 x 46cm Condition Report: Marks, scratches and abrasions, old chips and splits comensurate with age and use.Some old repairs. Old worm holes/ damage. Some fragmentary losses due to worm damage. some old use of filler to disguise old losses. Some minor movement between joints as expected for age. The seat pad is later. There are signs of basic repairs to the underlying frame of the seat pad. The covering of the seat likely needs replacement/ re-covering with your choice of fabric/ textile/ needlework. No breaks or splicing to the legs. Two or three of the feet may be incredibly clever replacements with period timber/ feet that are very well matched. Careful and sympathetic simple restoration would bring this stool to being a very presentable, useable and fine example of its type.
