The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Inspired by ancient Egyptian seating discovered during nineteenth-century excavations, the Thebes stool was adapted and popularised by designers such as Leonard Wyburd for Liberty & Co. during the Arts and Crafts movement.

These stools are typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, featuring curved splayed legs joined directly to a wooden or woven leather seat.

Authentic examples feature distinctive outward-curving legs, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, and occasionally a stamped patent mark or retailer label beneath the seat.

This versatile piece functions effectively as an accent seat, a small side table beside a sofa, or a sculptural plant stand in contemporary and classic settings.

Dust the timber regularly with a clean microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically to protect the finish, keeping the piece away from direct radiator heat to avoid wood movement.
