About the Item

This carved primitive-style wooden stool originates from Zimbabwe and exemplifies traditional African craftsmanship with strong sculptural presence. Hand-carved from a single solid piece of wood, the stool features a circular, slightly concave seat supported by a central column adorned with bold geometric cutout motifs. These intersecting forms are characteristic of traditional African design, emphasizing symmetry, symbolism, and functionality. The surface displays a rich, naturally aged patina developed through use and time, with visible tool marks and tonal variations that enhance its authenticity and visual depth. The compact proportions suggest it was intended as a personal stool, historically used in domestic or ceremonial settings, rather than mass-produced furniture. Its sturdy construction and balanced form allow it to function both as a utilitarian object and as a sculptural accent. Whether placed in a curated African art collection, used as a low stool or side table, or displayed as a standalone object, this piece brings cultural significance and organic texture to any interior. Its minimalist yet powerful design makes it especially appealing to collectors of tribal art and primitive décor. Measurements: 9.5” L x 9” W x 10” H
