Chinese Hardwood Drum Stool
About the Item
The stool is a central fixture of Chinese furniture culture. Found in a variety of materials and forms, the stool transcends class lines, as much at home in the provincial courtyard as it is in the grand hall of a wealthy estate. Whether worked from fine hardwood or cobbled together from wood scraps, the ever-practical stool finds its place in all corners of the home.
This gorgeous hardwood stool is shaped in a traditional drum form first popularized during the Song dynasty (960 to 1279). The stool features a rounded seat and five legs that bow outwards to match the curved shape of a drum, each carved with archaistic dragon scrollwork. A band of imitation boss-head nails rings the seat like those used to stretch hide across an actual drum. Darkened with a warm, red-brown stain, the stool beautifully showcases the tight grain of its hardwood construction and elevates its surroundings with quiet elegance.
