Antique Ceremonial Yoruba Stool, West African, Hardwood, 1900

1900 - 1920
Description

This is an antique ceremonial Yoruba chief's stool. A West African, Benin Kingdom hardwood side or lamp table, dating to the late 19th century, circa 1900.

Striking West African tribal craftsmanship

Displaying a desirable aged patina - split to top adds to the character

Hand-carved hardwood displays dark russet hues

Ovoid top with rolled edge sits above the whole

Pair of supporting figures stand alongside a grand leopard and cub

Standing upon a hollowed circular base

This is a fascinating antique Yoruba stool. Wonderfully hand-carved, the profile lends itself to being an unusual side or lamp table in the home. Delivered waxed, polished and ready to enjoy.
