Pair of Early 20th Century Chinese Stools

Pair of Early 20th Century Chinese Stools

$3,950.00

Rooted in the elegance of Ming design, this pair of early 20th-century Chinese elmwood stools is all about balance—nothing extra, nothing missing. Straight square legs end in stylized hoof feet, giving them a quiet strength, while the high waists keep the profile crisp and lifted. The carved aprons, with their stepped billowing cloud motif, bring just enough movement to break up the geometry. It’s that Ming-era genius for proportion and restraint—everything intentional, everything in its place.

Though made as stools, they’re endlessly adaptable. Use them as low tables in front of a sofa, end tables beside a chair, or pull them out when the guest list expands. Their warm, worn patina does the talking—no need to fuss them up. They bring clarity, calm, and a little history wherever they land.

EACH: 17.25 in. W x 17.25 in. D x 18.75 in. H
