Bleached Chinese Farmers Stool - 19th Century
This rustic 19th-century saddle stool is a classic example of rural Chinese craftsmanship, originally used by farm workers for daily tasks. Hand-carved from solid elm, the thick seat is shaped in a gentle curve to resemble a saddle€”providing both ergonomic comfort and aesthetic appeal. Its simple yet practical construction, using traditional mortise and tenon joinery, gives the piece a timeless durability.
With its warm, weathered patina and visible signs of age€”including some possible later repairs€”this stool carries the charm of authentic countryside living. Its versatile proportions make it suitable as a side table, hallway perch, or additional seating at a dining table. A perfect accent for rustic, minimalist, or wabi-sabi inspired interiors.
