About the Item

"African Prestige Stool – Zambia (bemba/lunda), Mid-20th Century" African Prestige Stool – Zambia (Bemba/Lunda), Mid-20th Century A finely carved four-legged prestige stool from Zambia, attributed to the Bemba–Lunda cultural sphere. The seat features a chip-carved diamond border surrounding a slightly concave surface, while the four free-standing legs are decorated with incised linear motifs. The stool is open underneath, giving it a light, architectural presence despite its solid construction. Carved from a single piece of hardwood, the stool shows a deep, dark patina from age and handling. Such stools were traditionally reserved for chiefs, elders, or diviners, serving not only as functional seating but also as emblems of status and authority. Origin: Zambia (Bemba–Lunda region) Date: Mid-20th Century Material: Hardwood with aged patina Dimensions: height 33.5 cm / diameter 31 cm Condition: Good, with wear consistent with age and use A strong and authentic example of Zambian prestige furniture, notable for its geometric decoration and balanced proportions.
