A Sculptural Piece of History
Hand-hewn from thick boards and assembled with square-cut nails, this primitive stool features a carved handhold integrated into the top surface. The low rectangular form and block legs reflect utilitarian construction, while deep tool marks, checking, and wear speak to long, repeated use.
The handhold—beautifully softened through decades of handling—reveals how the stool was lifted and carried, reinforcing its origin as a working object rather than furniture. Now this piece reads as both artifact and sculpture, carrying a quiet authority through material, weight, and time.
