This was a technique used by joiners to link the parts of furniture using a tenon, or pared-down end, which slotted into a mortise, or rectangular hole. It would then be locked in place with wooden pegs. Stools were the most common form of seating. More expensive stools, especially those made for bedchambers, were covered with upholstery which might match the bed hangings.  \r\n\r\nThis example has a wooden seat and is well-made. The legs were shaped by turning on a pole-lathe, after which further decoration was carved. This kind of stool was in general use but would have been particularly useful with ‘draw’ tables, which became popular around 1600. These had extra leaves that could be 'drawn' or pulled out, to increase the size of the table.\r\n\r\nOn loan to Lamport Hall.","physicalDescription":"Oak joint stool or small table, the sawn rails (double-pegged) with fluting and a convex moulding (probably added) along the lower edge. The legs of reeded baluster form, joined at the bottom by plain, single-pegged stretchers. The top consists of a single board, pegged at the corners down into the frame using large, early pegs. This stool is noticeably larger than many similar surviving stools. \n\nCondition\nOne corner of the seat missing.\r\n","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"Oak","id":"AAT12264"}],"techniques":[{"text":"carving","id":"AAT53149"},{"text":"turning","id":"AAT53158"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Oak, joined, with turned and carved decoration","categories":[{"text":"Furniture","id":"THES48948"}],"styles":[{"text":"Jacobean","id":"AAT107014"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"FWK","id":"THES48597"},"images":["2006AK5802","2006AK5803","2014HD2091","2017JV3151"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LAMP (LOAN)","id":"THES49183"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Stool","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Great Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1600-1620","earliest":"1600-01-01","latest":"1620-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"60","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"47","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"34.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Bought for £30 from J.H.
