Pair of Tri-Leg Stools

Deceptively simple, these rustic stools show off the ingenious construction techniques used by traditional Chinese woodworkers. Each stool’s three splayed legs are supported by stretcher bars that form a center triangle, a construction pattern that provides stability and a bit of design interest. Carved from richly grained purple elmwood, the 19th-century stools showcase the wood’s beautiful grain and deep color.
