Rustic Vintage Japanese Stool
Rustic Vintage Japanese Stool
A vintage Japanese wooden stool in a great rustic condition, dating to the late Taisho era (1912-1926) or early Showa period (1926-). The deeply weathered top seat showcase a highly tactile, scrubbed-out grain pattern that captures the essence of everyday historical utility.
Hand-assembled cedar legs meet a durable hard wood top, likely to be Zelkova. The timber retains a deep patina, with pronounced grain, natural variation, and the marks of prolonged handling and use.

Condition & Antique Character
As an antique object, this piece has lived a previous life and shows the gentle marks of time and utility. The wood has natural variations in colour and grain, together with surface marks, scuffs, splits and areas of wear. There is a small chip on one of the legs, as shown in the pictures. Although it is in good sturdy condition overall, the stool is slightly unbalanced by few mm so it wobbles slightly on a hard floor, THEREFORE PRCIED ACCORDINGLY. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
