About the Item

This is a wooden stool made of cedar wood from the late Meiji and Taisho periods (around 1900-1920) in Japan. It is believed to have been actually used in old private homes and farmhouses, and the deep flavor and rustic look created by years of use are appealing. The warm texture of the cedar wood can be felt all over the stool, giving it a sense of presence unique to antiques despite its simple structure. The scratches on the surface and shades of color that have been carved over time quietly tell a story that has accumulated with the passage of time. The seat is compact in size (38.5 cm wide) and adds a subtle touch to a space when used with a sofa table or coffee table. It can also be used as a stool for putting on shoes at the entrance, or as a stand for displaying houseplants. It is extremely lightweight and easy to carry, so you can freely incorporate it as part of your interior design without any hassle when redecorating. It is a recommended product that harmonizes with any interior style and gently accompanies you in your daily life. Seat size: w38.5cm d17.4cm Weight: 1.15 kg [We mainly sell old Japanese items.
