About the Item
A rare and highly collectible life-sized German Sheep Stool, designed by Hans Peter Krafft and produced by Meier in the 1980s. This remarkable piece perfectly captures the charm and expert craftsmanship of Bavarian folk art. Inspired by the centuries-old tradition of hand-carved wooden animals, these stools were originally designed as playful yet functional seating, often found in Alpine homes, lodges, and mountain retreats.
Hans Peter Krafft, an artisan known for his sculptural interpretations of animals, brought this tradition into the modern era with his distinctive approach. His work blends meticulous craftsmanship with a sense of humor and warmth, making each piece a delightful mix of art and function. This example is hand-carved from solid Birch wood, featuring a beautifully faceted wooden head, expressive glass eyes, and a plush wool-covered body, all supported by sturdy wooden legs that enhance its sculptural presence.
Adding to its lifelike appeal, this piece is adorned with a woven collar and an aged metal bell, which enhance its realism. The full-scale size, comparable to a real sheep, further reinforces its striking resemblance, making it an exceptional decorative element.
Produced by Meier, a German company renowned for its finely crafted wooden objects, this stool is part of a tradition that blends folk art with functional design. During the mid-to-late 20th century, German and Swiss designers revisited traditional motifs, incorporating them into collectible decorative objects. Krafft’s sheep stools stand as a testament to this movement, bridging craftsmanship with contemporary design sensibilities.
Perfect for collectors of European design, folk art, or sculptural furniture, this piece serves as both a statement and a functional work of art.
