About the Item

This exceptional 20th century Dogon stool, hand-carved in Mali, West Africa, embodies the authentic artistry and cultural heritage of the Dogon people. Crafted from solid wood, it features intricate geometric patterns, symbolic motifs, and anthropomorphic forms, reflecting centuries-old traditions, spirituality, and storytelling. The stool’s naturally aged patina, subtle cracks, and hand-carved irregularities highlight its authenticity, giving it a distinctive wabi-sabi character—a beauty that celebrates imperfection, simplicity, and the passage of time. Each mark and variation tells a story, making this piece not only a functional object but also a sculptural work of art. Its compact and sturdy design allows for practical use as seating or a low table, while its striking aesthetic makes it a captivating decorative object for living spaces, galleries, or ethnographic collections. The harmonious balance of form, proportion, and symbolism demonstrates the sophistication of Dogon craftsmanship in the 20th century. This fine wabi sabi piece will complement many interior styles. A modern, antique, classic, Scandinavian or an Art Deco home decor.

West African Ashanti Stool in Carved Hardwood, 20th Century
Located in Odense, DK
This sculptural stool is carved from a single block of solid wood, showcasing a distinctive, monolithic form. The wide, curved seat rests on a central arched support flanked by two end blocks — creating a grounded, rhythmic silhouette with both weight and openness. Its proportions are low and compact, yet the piece has presence: the hand-carved surfaces bear soft irregularities, and the warm natural patina reveals years of use and craftsmanship. The seat is subtly concave, shaped for comfort and gesture, while the base structure adds a bold architectural quality. It can be used as a stool, a side table, or a display pedestal — equally suited for a quiet reading corner, beside a sculptural armchair, or as a standalone object in a curated space. This iconic West African stool...
