Best Antique Cricket Stool in Original Mustard Paint carved animal butter or tomattoes [sic] wereJust the best cricket stool in the best old mustard paint. Perfect form, perfect patina, and every single thing I've put on top of this looks better for it. Paint largely worn off of the flat of the top surface, yielding a most beautiful surface. I look at a whole lot of cricket stools, but it's rare I've found one I like better than this. Top measures 11 3 8" x 6 3 4". 7 1 8" d at legs, 7 3 8" t. Beautiful antique condition.
