FAQs

A Chinese lacquer barrel stool, also known as a garden seat or drum stool, is a traditional form of seating and occasional table originating in Chinese interior design, characterised by its rounded, drum-like profile and carved side openings.

These pieces are traditionally crafted from a timber armature finished with multiple fine coats of tree sap lacquer, which is decorated using mineral pigments, gold leaf, and hand-painted painted embellishments.

Authentic historic pieces feature visible layered joinery beneath the finish, natural surface craquelure, subtle variation in hand-applied paintwork, and signs of gentle oxidation on exposed undersides.

In contemporary settings, a lacquered barrel stool functions as an accent side table beside an armchair, an occasional perch in a hallway, or a colourful focal point placed in an empty corner.

Dust regularly using a dry, soft microfiber cloth, maintain consistent ambient humidity, and avoid direct exposure to sunlight, excess moisture, or harsh solvent cleaners.
