Meticulously crafted using traditional steam-bent techniques, this rare example features a highly sought-after 22-inch seat height—making it the ideal scale for lower kitchen counters, kitchen islands, or elevated workspaces.
What makes this specific piece exceptional is its circular plywood seat, featuring a deeply impressed, radiant radial "sunburst" or fan motif. This striking decorative pattern provides both an elegant textural element and a durable alternative to fragile woven cane.
True to its historic design roots, the stool maintains a space-saving 14.5" width, while the legs bow gracefully forward and backward to a 19" depth, creating a highly stable footprint that prevents tipping. The chair boasts a rich, deep honey-and-walnut patina that highlights its historic character. The underside retains its original lower ring support brace (acting as a comfortable footrest) and features a unique three-line vintage adhesive patina remnant from its early distribution history. Sturdy, structurally sound, and full of historic presence, it makes a perfect sculptural accent or eclectic kitchen counter seat. See less
