it
Rare 16th-century Tuscan stool, an authentic example of Renaissance craftsmanship in poplar wood. Featuring an octagonal seat, a shaped backrest, and “cup-shaped” feet connected by a turned stretcher, it represents an evolution from medieval folding stools, opting for a fixed, stable, and durable structure.
Originally designed for corridors in noble residences or abbeys, these stools combined practicality and decoration, with lightweight structures that were easy to move. Over time, their simple forms became more refined, incorporating elaborate details while preserving functionality as a core feature.
This piece, with over five centuries of history and understated lines, highlights the essential role of these stools in the daily life of the era. Perfect for adding a touch of history and character to both traditional and modern spaces.
