This Thebes stool from the 1800s exemplifies the fascination with ancient forms that shaped late-19th-century decorative arts, its design inspired by classical Egyptian seating while rendered in richly figured tiger oak. The turned legs and radiating spindle supports reflect both historic revivalism and the period’s dedication to skilled craftsmanship. The striking grain of the oak enhances the sculptural geometry of the piece, allowing the stool to function as both a utilitarian object and a testament to the era’s global design influences.
