Questions About Antique Chinese Stool
  • PAGODA RED
    PAGODA REDOctober 7, 2020

    The Chinese garden stool is a round, barrel-shaped stool with a circular seat. Inspired by traditional drums, these stools often feature decorative elements simulating actual drumheads, such as a ring of faux nails at each end.

    Yes! Chinese garden stools are a popular décor item and can be easily found in contemporary, vintage and antique versions. They are also known as drum stools.

  • Lotus Gallery

    No. Antique Chinese garden stools should be hand painted. Some antique English garden stools will have blue and white transfer decoration as do many modern and reproduction garden stools.

  • PAGODA RED
    PAGODA REDOctober 7, 2020

    To determine the age of a Chinese furniture piece, look carefully at the joinery and finish. Natural expansion and contraction of the wood over time will cause a joint to protrude or retract, distorting a once-seamless fit. Antique lacquer finishes become crackled and worn over time. Areas of exposed wood, such as the underside of a table, the footrest of a chair, or the back of a cabinet should appear raw and dry compared to the finished surface. With use, the legs of tables and chairs become weathered near the bottom from precipitation and use.

    The best way to know is to take it to an expert, such as an appraiser, reputable dealer or auction house, or museum

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    To identify antique Chinese furniture, look carefully at its details. Chinese craftsmen often built furniture using mortise and tenon joinery, eliminating the need for nails and screws. If you see this type of hardware, your piece is likely not at least 100 years old, especially if the hardware still looks new and shiny. Since antique furniture was handmade, you will normally see slight imperfections, such as tool marks or slight variations in carvings. Pieces that appear completely uniform and pristine are less often genuine antiques.

    When present, maker's marks can also be helpful. Research the marks to learn more about when the maker was active and producing pieces like yours. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer evaluate your furniture for you.
