Based in stunning Speyside, Moray, Scotland, we (Mr & Mrs W) are passionate about quality antique items with great design and evident craft, predominantly from the 18th, 19th and early 20th century.
In particular, we enjoy period items reflecting the beautiful design and aesthetic changes from the decorative arts, from circa 1850 - 1960. Including the Aesthetic Movement, Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts Movement (In particular of Scottish origin), Modernism, Art Deco and Streamlining. We also enjoy the great craft and quality construction in folk art and vernacular items from across Europe. In particular, Scandinavian decorative items from the 18th and 19th Century. We enjoy being analytical in our approach and supporting our stock with background research, provenance and history through researching the items, the period, designers and retailers.
We often hunt the country from our Scottish location, but routinely search from Lancashire and Yorkshire as well as buying trips further afield to supply items online. We also like to take on items that particularly interest us from earlier periods, dependent on our fascination for an object.
We are always learning, and happy to share knowledge gained, so please do get in touch. Thanks for viewing our selection of stock, we are always pleased to see items pass through our hands to new owners and homes as antiques remain a great green recyclable purchase!

Description
For sale is a Scottish vernacular creepie / stool in a particularly pleasing and decorative worn cream / off white paint from the late-19th Century.
- The medium sized creepie, five boarded stool is in good solid antique condition with a lovely worn paint and neutral colour and thick boarded construction built in a robust manner
- It has a central circular finger cut hole to aid lifting / moving
- The creepie has a curved semi-circular / decorative arch in each of the two-leg panels, one characteristic of Scottish vernacular 'Creepie' stools
- Age-related wear and marks but nothing to effect the solid honest utility of the creepie
These Scottish vernacular stools were of great utility in rural homes for seating by the fire, as a candle stand, small table or ad-hoc workbench. They are particularly practical and make a great chair-side companion.
Available for a new home for another 120+ years of decorative utility
