Primitive Antique Milking Stool — Wormwood, 2" Thick Top

This rustic milking stool dates to circa 1880 and features a hand-crafted solid wood construction with a thick 2-inch top and four 1-inch splayed legs for stability on uneven barn floors. Originally used for tasks like milking livestock, the stool's compact form and robust joinery reflect its utilitarian roots. The surface displays worn hand-painted corner lines in mustard yellow, lending a touch of folk art charm to its timeworn patina.

The heavily weathered surface reveals scattered wormwood holes and age-related finish wear, giving it authentic antique character. One corner shows visible chipping, and scuffing is present throughout—all consistent with decades of use. Despite the wear, the piece remains sturdy and displays beautifully. Whether styled as a riser, plant stand, or collectible Americana accent, this stool offers a genuine glimpse into rural working life of the late 19th to early 20th century.
