1950s elm tripod stool, clover shape

Solid elm tripod stool dating from the 1950s, characterized by its organic clover or bean-shaped top. The top, carved from a single piece of wood, features a distinctive knot that adds character to this handcrafted piece. The three tapered, slightly angled legs ensure perfect stability while maintaining a light silhouette. This piece is part of the tradition of post-war handcrafted furniture, a period when artisans valued the natural beauty of wood and organic forms. The simplicity of its design highlights the nobility of elm and testifies to traditional craftsmanship where each element is shaped by hand. This versatile stool will easily find its place in a contemporary or vintage interior, whether as an occasional seat, a small pedestal table, an unusual nightstand, or even as a decorative support to showcase a plant or object. The elm wood has developed a rich amber patina over the decades, enhancing the natural beauty of its grain. The surface of the top has been carefully polished, offering a soft, satiny feel that contrasts with the rougher texture of the legs. As seen in the photos, the stool shows some traces of use and marks of time that testify to its authenticity and history. The knot visible on the top is an integral part of the character of the piece. The structure remains perfectly solid and stable. Dimensions length: 34 cm width: 26 cm height: 35 cm thickness of the top: 4.5 cm.
