This is a bar stool that I located at Goodwill for subsequent to practically nothing.
Hardwood, entirely solidly constructed, great patina (the picture does not do it justice) and with a really interesting stamp on the bottom.
I saw it when I was loading it into my vehicle and I thought "Oh I ought to appear that up when I get home."
But I forgot.
I planned on leaving it the way it was, just oiling it a tiny, but I was going to take it to a industry in a week and I already had a lot of stained pieces, so I believed it would be better to paint it.
I sanded it, primed it, and then came to post it.
The subsequent morning I had this comment from my buddy Shelly
"The first factor I would do is flip over that bar stool and check to see if it's stamped with S. Bent & Bros., Inc. stamp. I lately gave a basic color wash to a chair I had sitting up in my garage for a couple of years and before the paint was even dry my sister gasped "SHELLY! Two of these just SOLD on ebay for $ 400 ea"! My chair was stamped 1867 I consider? Oops! My undesirable! Verify it out! It might be your lucky day:)"
Oh. My. Gosh.
What did I do?!
So I rushed onto Ebay and discovered a equivalent stool with a bid of $ 127 and nonetheless climbing.
I know.
So I named some friends who deal with antiques asking (begging) if I took the primer off and restained it, if it would hold it is value.
Nope.
So right here it is now. I do really like it, but I am nevertheless kicking myself for forgetting to appear up the stamp and succumbing to the pressure of painting.
It really is painted in Frost and Pencil Point by Behr and waxed with Howards Citrus Shield.
I adore that is it really is a small vintage and a tiny chic at the identical time.
It would look adorable in an entry way to leave your coat and purse on or in a kitchen or a bedroom.

PS My Mom painted the image hanging behind it in high school.
It's known as "Love, Lines, Angles and Rhymes."
I think she ought to begin painting once again. :)
