About the Item

This 20th Century African carved Bakota stool showcases the bold geometry, symbolic detailing, and sculptural craftsmanship characteristic of Central African design traditions. Hand-carved from solid wood, the stool features a round seat with a beautifully worn surface, softened by age and use. The base is composed of curved, pierced supports that create an architectural rhythm, while gilt-painted accents and brass tacks add subtle ornamentation and cultural significance. The interplay of rounded forms and vertical elements gives the piece a strong sculptural presence, making it as visually compelling as it is functional. Rich patina throughout highlights the stool’s history and handmade quality. This piece serves as an exceptional accent in both contemporary and collected interiors, offering depth, texture, and global artistry.
