AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An exceptional hand-carved sculptural African stool in which tribal symbolism, artisanal woodcraft and organic brutalist form come together to make a powerful statement piece.

This characterful sculptural stool/side table is made from solid hardwood and features an expressive triple-sided face design. From every angle the object reveals a different sculptural expression, making it not only functional as a side table or plant stand, but also a decorative art object.

The hand-carved mask motifs reference traditional African tribal visual language and give the object a strong, almost ceremonial appearance. The warm dark patina, visible wood grain and natural imperfections emphasize the authentic handmade character.

Thanks to the balanced proportions and solid weight, this stool has a monumental presence that perfectly suits contemporary interior styles such as:
*Tribal Modern
*Organic Modern
*Wabi Sabi
*Eclectic living
*Brutalist interiors
*Safari Lodge Chic

The object can be used as:
*sculptural side table
*plant stand
*decorative statement piece
*display pedestal for ceramics or artworks.

Origin: presumably from Central Africa / Congo influences, second half of the 20th century.

Dimensions:
Height: 42 cm.
Top diameter: 26 cm.
Weight: over 4 kg.

Material:
*Solid hand-carved hardwood.

Condition:
In good vintage condition with natural signs of use, subtle drying cracks and organic imperfections appropriate to age, material and handcrafted workmanship. Color variations in the photos are due to different lighting.

Carefully packed and insured shipped with track & trace.

Estimated value:
approximately €250 – €450.
