This beautifully preserved example of postwar Czechoslovak furniture design combines a dark-stained beech wood frame with elegant tapered legs and a distinctive woven webbing seat construction. The stool retains its original removable padded cushion, upholstered in an expressive period floral fabric with contrasting piping and button detailing.
