I have been tempted to strip the paint off to see what the finish is like underside is like but the paint is so nicely aged I had to leave it as it is. The stool is later but matches perfectly, it's very comfortable and has two large side rails for ease of entrance and exit condition wise is perfect for the period, we have lightly cleaned waxed and polished it from top to bottom, it will have honest patination to the timber from genuine age desk.
