About the Item

This unique wooden stool, originally used as a small child's seat, features a bold, sculptural base and hand-carved detailing that echo the spirit of late 19th to early 20th century European folk craftsmanship. Its geometric silhouette and worn patina reflect both function and artistry - likely crafted as a humble yet expressive utilitarian piece. A striking primitive accent, perfect for wabi-sabi or rural-inspired interiors.
