Vintage Asante Stool

There’s something quietly commanding about a stool like this — modest in scale but full of presence. Carved from a single block of wood, it draws on the traditions of Asante stools, where each curve and carved motif holds meaning. These stools weren’t just functional objects — they represented status, identity, and even the soul of their owner.
 
The gently bowed seat and tiered base speak to careful craftsmanship, while the openwork centre adds a sculptural rhythm that’s both symbolic and architectural. Its softened edges and surface wear suggest a life of use, handled over time and passed through hands with reverence.
 
Whether admired as an object of cultural heritage or a sculptural form in its own right, this is a piece that connects deeply to the artistry and meaning of its origins.
