The stool is a central fixture of Chinese furniture culture. Found in a variety of materials and forms, the stool transcends class lines, as much at home in the provincial courtyard as it is in the grand hall of a wealthy estate. Whether worked from fine hardwood or cobbled together from wood scraps, the ever-practical stool finds its place in all corners of the home.
This pair of gorgeous hardwood stools are shaped in a traditional drum form first popularized during the Song dynasty (960-1279). Each stool features a rounded seat and five legs that bow outwards to match the curved shape of a drum, each carved with archaistic dragon scrollwork. Bands of imitation boss-head nails ring the seats like those used to stretch hide across an actual drum. Darkened with a warm, red-brown stain, the stools beautifully showcase the tight grain of their hardwood construction and elevate their surroundings with quiet elegance.

Diameter of Seat: 13.25"
