Provincial Chinese Courtyard Stool, circa 1900

About the Item

More portable than chairs, stools were a versatile seating option for Qing-dynasty scholars, nobles, and peasants alike. This Provincial stool dates to the turn of the century and would have been used throughout a courtyard home as versatile everyday seating. Crafted of pine using mortise-and-tenon joinery, the tapered stool has a rectangular seat supported by four splayed legs linked with straight stretcher bars. A simple floral carving decorates the apron and traces of the original lacquer finish darken the legs, now faded from years of use. Additional Dimensions: Seat: 15.75"W x 9"D Leg Splay: 10.5"W.
