Scottish Three-legged Dairy Stool.
A genuine piece of Scottish folk art, this 19th century dairy stool has lovely pokerwork decoration and the inscription” WHA DARE MEDDLE WI ME”. This is a reference to the 16th century disputes between the “Border Reivers” involved in cattle rustling across the Anglo/Scottish border. The pokerwork has the typical floral display of Thistles, the national emblem of Scotland. The legs have apparently been gnawed by a dog at some time in the distant past!!
Dimensions: Height 34 centimetres, Diameter 28 centimetres.
