Suggested attribution to Beckham family workshop.
Of good height, having a six-pegged triple-reeded edge top, cable-carved rails, and parallel-baluster over reel-turned legs, joined by run-moulded stretchers all round.
Provenance: Very possibly Lavington, Bideford, Devon.
An identical stool, originally in the acclaimed Stuart Kirby collection and certainly from the same workshop as this stool is documented as formerly at Lavington Chapel.
