Superb Antique Peg Jointed Oak & Elm Work Box Stool

click picture to enlarge

I believe this lovely work box stool dates to the 19th century, though could be earlier. Constructed from thick solid oak with an elm base, it boasts a superb patina and is peg-jointed. Its lid has thumb carving at each side and opens on its original fishtail iron hinges to reveal a workbox within.

There is decorative carving to its front and it stands on splayed turned legs with straight stretchers to the front, rear and sides. All joints are sound and I can find no evidence of worm.

A lovely piece that would grace any period style home, with just the marks of time that differentiates any antique from a modern day reproduction.

Dimensions: 60 cms wide x 40 cms deep x 46 cms high

According to Greenpeace, a football pitch-sized area of forest disappears every two seconds to feed an ever-increasing global demand for wood. Do your bit for the Planet by buying an item of pre-loved furniture that will not cost the Earth. Why buy repro, when you can have an original?

I'll leave the pics to describe this best. Please note any items displayed are not included, but to give an idea of scale.

As with all my listings, this is a vintage item and as such does come with some evidence of age. If you are looking for pristine condition, then this might not be for you. I do try to give an accurate description of the condition, as I hope my feedback testifies, but this is always relative. I would urge you, therefore, where possible to arrange a viewing by prior appointment to satisfy yourself prior to bidding. Do bear in mind that Ebay final prices often reflect the fact that an item is being bought sight unseen and, there is, therefore, an element of risk , which is why it is always preferable to buy from a Reputable Power Seller like ourselves, with a long-established 100% Positive Feedback Rating. That said, the end price is likely to be much lower than you would pay in an antique shop where the cost of overheads is built in to the retail price.

Thank you for looking.

FULL DETAILS ARE AVAILABLE BY CLICKING ON THE 'ABOUT ME' LINK (me) NEXT TO THE POWER SELLER SYMBOL under 'Meet the Seller' at the top of this listing. Please note that while we are not a Retail Shop, we do offer a continuous changing stock of Antiques & Vintage items that are likely to be alot less than you would pay in any conventional antiques shop.

Would the successful bidder please make contact via email or phone within 24 hours of the auction close to notify me of their intentions regarding payment & collection/delivery. My contact details will be noted on the invoice sent upon auction close.

Would International Bidders please note that payment from overseas can only be accepted via Pay Pal.

UK TRANSACTIONS:

1. Personal Cheque: I allow 5 working days' clearance of cheques from banking, so please bear this in mind if you require your item quickly. As we are in a village, it is not always possible to bank cheques on the day of receipt. You might want to consider an alternative method, if so. Would you please make cheques payable to J. Willis - not Owl Cottage Collectables.

2. Pay Pal: If you wish to pay by Debit or Credit Card it is easy to do so via Pay Pal. It is the Seller who is charged for this service and while we do not pass this cost on to the customer, we would appreciate prompt payment via Pay Pal. It can take up to 5 days for a Pay Pal payment to be transferred to our bank account - so if you delay payment by Pay Pal, this delays our reimbursement costs to that extent + the extra 5 days!

3.Please email for arrangements if you are planning to collect personally. Please note that our courier's driver is not authorised to accept cash on our behalf, representing, as they do, a separate company. We will notify you upon close of the transaction if we are able to offer personal delivery, in which case an alternative method of payment might be possible. Please email in advance to ensure this is possible.

NON-PAYMENT

Unfortunately, I have now had my fair share of non-paying bidders so I regretfully have to point out that a Payment Reminder will be sent automatically after 5 days via Ebay.

After 7 days a Non-Paying Bidder dispute will be opened and if no satisfactory response is received during this process, you will receive a non-paying bidder striket. There should be no necessity for it to get to this stage, if the buyer emails or phones to say there was a good reason why they had bid but have now had to delay payment. Communication really is the key to a trouble-free transaction.

Pick Up Only (Please note we are away from the 19th November to 26th November

In the event of dissatisfaction, please email within 3 days of receipt with reason, and, if damage has occurred in transit, please email photos. If damaged in transit, please retain all packaging to assist with compensation claim via relevant courier. Bulk couriers will not insure for damage in transit of antiques so if you choose this method, rather than collection, you are accepting this fact. If you feel an item differs from description significantly, please email immediately. As each item sold is available for viewing prior to sale, I urge all buyers to take up this option. Delivery/postage will not be refunded in the event of return if you have waived your right to view prior to bidding for whatever reason.
