Carved Wood Stools For Sale on 1stDibs

There is a range of carved wood stools for sale on 1stDibs. Each of these unique carved wood stools was constructed with extraordinary care, often using wood, fabric and upholstery. We have 529 antique and vintage carved wood stools in-stock, while there are 89 modern editions to choose from as well. There are all kinds of carved wood stools available, from those produced as long ago as the 18th Century to those made as recently as the 21st Century. Carved wood stools made by Louis XV designers — as well as those associated with Mid-Century Modern — are very popular at 1stDibs. Large carved wood stools can prove too imposing for some spaces, so the smaller carved wood stools available at 1stDibs — each spanning 7.5 inches in width — may make for a better choice. There have been many well-made carved wood stools over the years, but those made by Zogei, Hiroyuki Nishimura and Amorph Inc. are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

How Much are Carved Wood Stools?

Prices for carved wood stools start at $210 and top out at $39,247 with the average selling for $1,847.

Finding the Right Stools for You

Stools are versatile and a necessary addition to any living room, kitchen area or elsewhere in your home. A sofa or reliable lounge chair might nab all the credit, comfort-wise, but don’t discount the roles that good antique, new and vintage stools can play.

“Stools are jewels and statements in a space, and they can also be investment pieces,” says New York City designer Amy Lau, who adds that these seats provide an excellent choice for setting an interior’s general tone. 

Stools, which are among the oldest forms of wooden furnishings, may also serve as decorative pieces, even if we’re talking about a stool that is far less sculptural than the gracefully curving molded plywood shells that make up Sōri Yanagi’s provocative Butterfly stool

Fawn Galli, a New York interior designer, uses her stools in the same way you would use a throw pillow. “I normally buy several styles and move them around the home where needed,” she says.

Stools are smaller pieces of seating as compared to armchairs or dining chairs and can add depth as well as functionality to a space that you’ve set aside for entertaining. For a splash of color, consider the Stool 60, a pioneering work of bentwood by Finnish architect and furniture maker Alvar Aalto. It’s manufactured by Artek and comes in a variety of colored seats and finishes.

Barstools that date back to the 1970s are now more ubiquitous in kitchens. Vintage barstools have seen renewed interest, be they a meld of chrome and leather or transparent plastic, such as the Lucite and stainless-steel counter stool variety from Indiana-born furniture designer Charles Hollis Jones, who is renowned for his acrylic works. A cluster of barstools — perhaps a set of four brushed-aluminum counter stools by Emeco or Tubby Tube stools by Faye Toogood — can encourage merriment in the kitchen. If you’ve got the room for family and friends to congregate and enjoy cocktails where the cooking is done, consider matching your stools with a tall table.

Whether you need counter stools, drafting stools or another kind, explore an extensive range of antique, new and vintage stools on 1stDibs.
