The piece features four curved horn supports joined beneath the seat with a simple wooden stretcher construction, giving it a primitive, sculptural quality. The square upholstered top is covered in an older green woven textile, likely original or an early replacement, adding to its folk-art charm.

The combination of organic materials and hand-crafted construction suggests it may be a late 19th- to early 20th-century hunting lodge, Adirondack, Black Forest, or rustic lodge-style piece. The dramatic curved horn legs create an eye-catching silhouette and make it as much a decorative conversation piece as a functional stool. See less
