This striking tribal form reflects the blend of traditional African craftsmanship and vernacular colonial-era influence often seen in mid-20th century ceremonial seating from Central and West Africa. The deeply worn surface, oxidized metal accents, and hand-worked construction give the piece exceptional warmth, texture, and authenticity, while its bold architectural silhouette allows it to function equally well as seating or sculptural display. A powerful collector’s piece for organic modern, wabi-sabi, or globally layered interiors, offering strong presence and historic character. Seat height is 18". Each is sold individually. See less
