More About This Item:
Sculptural, substantial, and steeped in history, this mid-20th-century Asian copper and brass garden stool makes a striking accent both indoors and out. Crafted in the style of traditional Chinese drum stools, its rounded body is wrapped in an aged finish that adds depth and character, offering an unpolished elegance only decades of time can produce.

The cut-out detail along the sides isn’t just decorative—it evokes ancient ceremonial drums used in imperial courts and temples. Whether you’re styling a breezy sunroom, a minimalist entryway, or a lush garden, this piece brings an unmistakable worldly flair to the mix. Use it as a side table, display pedestal, or a standalone design object.

Design Style:
The drum-style silhouette and patinated finish make this a standout for those curating an eclectic or Asian-inspired space. It also complements Brutalist, Wabi-Sabi, or even Mid-Century Modern interiors thanks to its earthy tones and organic form. Think of it as a conversation piece that doesn’t try too hard—but always gets noticed.

Craftsmanship & Material:
The top surface measures approximately 12 inches and appears to be copper, while the body showcases a warm brass tone with hand-formed rivet detailing. Its unpolished finish gives it an authentic, lived-in look, rich in texture, yet free from structural damage or heavy scratching.

Styling Tip:
Use this metal garden stool to break up a patio set, next to a rattan lounge chair, or as an unexpected side table beside a velvet armchair indoors. This is one of those rare, timeless pieces that adapts to its surroundings while quietly stealing the show. See less
