Antique Victorian or early 20th century oak possibly a Scottish creepie stool with a leather top and studded edges. This is difficult to date but certainly at least 100 years old, may be a lot older. My research has shown it could be a child's milking stool / or foot stool personally I think it's more likely been made as a child's present for dolls / Teddy's etc ? Either way, rare and very collectible.

Some age related wear, mostly to the leather seat which could be repaired. Personally I love the history and look.

Scottish creepie stool is a small, low, traditional wooden stool, often made from a single piece of wood or with a simple board top, used for various tasks in the home and on farms. The name "creepie" comes from the Scots word "creep," meaning to stoop or bend down low, reflecting its low height and intended use for tasks requiring a low vantage point, such as milking cows or stirring porridge. These stools are versatile and have been used as children's seats, footstools, stepping stools, and even as small tables.
