Danish Late 19th century Stool with carved painted legs and embroidered seat.
Located in København K, 84
A Tapestry of Danish Artistry: Late 19th Century Stool with Ornately Carved, Painted Legs, and Embroidered Seat. Nestled within the annals of Danish craftsmanship, this late 19th-century stool emerges as a testament to the intersection of functional design and artistic expression. Crafted during a period characterized by a renewed appreciation for traditional craftsmanship, this stool stands as a tangible embodiment of the artistic spirit that defined late 19th-century Danish furniture. The most striking feature of this stool lies in its intricately carved legs, a showcase of the artisan's meticulous skill and dedication to the craft. Each leg, adorned with ornate patterns, is a canvas where the artist's imagination meets the timeless elegance of Danish design. The intricate carvings, expertly executed, elevate the stool from mere functional furniture to a piece of sculptural art. The color palette chosen for the legs reflects the prevailing aesthetic preferences of the time. Rich yet understated tones of green, red, and gold intertwine harmoniously, creating a visual symphony that captures the essence of late 19th-century Danish decorative arts. The choice of colors not only imparts a regal quality to the stool but also evokes a sense of warmth and opulence. Adding an extra layer of refinement is the embroidered seat, a delicate touch that complements the sturdy and artistic foundation of the stool. The embroidery, meticulously crafted with precision, showcases a fusion of floral and geometric patterns, contributing to the overall aesthetic coherence of the piece. The choice of colors in the embroidery mirrors...

Antique, New and Vintage Stools

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.
