DESCRIPTION

Antique African side table or stool hand carved from a single block of mahogany wood. The top is a thick bevel with beautiful hand carved legs and lovely patina. These stools have become collectable in recent years. We only source the best.

This side table or stool was sourced in the spirit of wabi-sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. A beauty of things unconventional. It is the opposite of vulgarity. The costs of achieving this kind of minimalism are seemingly inconsistent with its mission of aesthetic humility. This kind of luxury is for a select few: The Emperor of Japan had a wabi garden. Wabi is for people who already have a lot.
