Star Studded Antique Leather Covered Stool in Bittersweet Paint, with Nailed Mend 1800 german watercolor holding her much smaller bibleThis stool is one of my very favorite Brimfield purchases, which photos just can't do justice the color and patina on the bittersweet painted leather (over brown wool) surface is otherworldly. And the patina on the old brass studs forming this wonderful star at its center, too. Plus some old iron nails forming a sort of zig zag to one side of that star, repairing a tear to the leather very long ago one can see a bit of the brown fabric showing through
