Coffin stools, historically known as bier stools or lych stools, were used in ecclesiastical settings to support coffins during funeral services prior to burial.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from solid native hardwoods like oak, utilizing traditional joinery methods such as mortise and tenon joints with wooden pegs.

Authentication involves examining the wood grain patination, tool marks, wear patterns on the feet, and hand-cut joinery consistent with historical periods rather than modern machine production.

These versatile pieces function effectively as low side tables, plant stands, or sculptural display pedestals, adding architectural character to contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and occasionally treating the timber with traditional beeswax to nourish the wood.
