About the Item

A beautifully timeworn early rustic wooden stool, handcrafted from solid pine with charming primitive joinery and thick, sculptural legs. Likely dating to the early 20th century or late 19th century, this humble yet soulful piece is a testament to utilitarian craftsmanship from rural American or European farms. The stool features a deeply patinated surface, softened by decades of use. Its asymmetrical curves, hand-carved aprons, and weathered edges give it a warm, authentic character that only age can produce. Originally used as a milking stool, shoemaker’s bench, or child’s footrest, these stools were handmade in small batches, often from leftover timber, making each one entirely unique. Styling Ideas: Use as a pedestal for a potted plant, sculpture, or stack of vintage books. Layer it into a farmhouse, wabi-sabi, or Japandi interior for contrast and texture. Perfect as a bathroom accent for rolled towels or spa essentials. Set beside a hearth or entry bench as a charming, functional detail. Dimensions: 18" Wide 11" Deep 10.25" Tall 7.5 lbs Condition: Beautifully aged condition with time-softened edges, minor chips, surface wear, and old repairs—true to its origin and use. Structurally solid and full of character.

Antique Two-Tier Cane and Scorched Bamboo Tiger Wood Side Table with Storage Top
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
Antique Victorian Aesthetic movement two-tier scorched bamboo and cane tigerwood side table or occasional table with box storage on top. Bamboo occasional tables like this, are a cult favorite among those in the design circle as well as discerning collectors across the globe. Evoking a tropical or British Colonial vibe, these tables are rare to find, and always a classic timeless piece for just about any room in the home. You'll find this classic bamboo side table while flipping through the pages of nearly every design magazine. Understated, perhaps because of it’s size, it packs a big punch. It serves as both form and function with two areas for storage. Both a hidden box, as well as a bottom open shelf. Born in the 19th century, this piece is created out of bamboo. Other terms used to describe this type of material and finish, are scorched bamboo or tortoiseshell bamboo or tiger bamboo. This particular piece is square in form and has four legs. The top of the table is square and features a box with a liftable lid for storage. Fastened with a hinge, it is a great way to hide little things that make a space feel cluttered. (TV remotes, reading glasses, etc.) When closed, the top functions as a normal tabletop. We envision a beautiful vase sitting atop a stack of well-loved books. Under the top of the table, sits a second open tier shelf for additional storage. Again, we think this would be a great way to showcase a stack of your favorite books or a small bowl of fresh flowers. Both the top of the table, and the sides are covered in what is sometimes called rice matt. It's more of a woven fiber much like cane or wicker, and can often be mistaken for grasscloth. This piece would be fabulous if used in a number of ways: 1.) Our dear friend suggested using this as her "smoking box". With the inside holding the items she wouldn't necessarily want in view, but in a convenient enough place to quickly grab things should she need/want to. 2.) Entry table: To eliminate the mess of setting keys and sunglasses on a table, we think this small table box would be a great place to set keys and sunglasses inside, and then closed, to set a purse on top of. 3.) Patio: A lovely plant stand between two patio chairs...
