About the Item

A sculptural hand-carved stool from the Lobi people of West Africa, most likely originating from Burkina Faso and dating to the mid 20th century. The stool is carved from a single block of wood, displaying the raw and expressive qualities characteristic of traditional Lobi craftsmanship. Its compact proportions and minimal form highlight the beauty of the natural material, while the lighter wood tone gives the piece a warm and organic appearance. The surface shows a natural patina with subtle irregularities from age and hand craftsmanship, emphasizing its authenticity and wabi-sabi character. This fine stool will complement many interior styles. A Vintage, Classic, Scandinavian, Modern, or an Art Deco home decor.
