Provincial Fan Shaped Stool

Crafted by an artisan in China's Hebei province, this mid-19th century stool has aged beautifully with time, developing a rich texture that calls to be touched. The stool's traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery adds charming detail to the simple form, and the fan-shaped seat provides unexpected grace and flair. A favorite in our gallery, the artfully rendered spirit of this rustic stool sets it apart.
