Teal Bar Stool Appraisal

Teal Wooden Bar Stool with Spindle Back

This is a single bar height stool constructed entirely of wood, finished in a dark teal or possibly a deep sea-green color. The stool features a classic spindle-back design with five vertical spindles supporting a slightly curved and comfortably shaped top rail. The seat is a solid, rectangular block of wood with subtly rounded edges, suggesting a 'saddle' or dished contour for ergonomic sitting, though the extent of this contour is not fully discernible. The base consists of four sturdy, turned legs connected by two sets of stretchers on each side, forming a stable rectangular frame. The stretchers are placed at two different heights, with the lower set serving as a footrest. The finish appears uniformly applied and somewhat glossy, showing minor scuffs and wear consistent with regular use, particularly on the edges of the seat and the footrests. There are no visible manufacturer's marks or signatures. The style suggests a farmhouse or rustic-contemporary aesthetic, likely produced in the late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship appears to be commercially standard, with no overtly hand-carved or intricate details. The overall condition is good, with some minor paint chips or surface abrasions that do not compromise its structural integrity. The joinery, typical for this type of furniture, appears robust.
