Ashanti Stool from Ghana

Antique Ashanti stool from Ghana with a beautiful honey patina due to use, collected in West Africa, it dates from the beginning of the 20th century. It is a great classic of African art, it is certainly among the most sought-after stools for its design and originality. In Africa, often, the way of sitting reveals a cultural system based on a very hierarchical stratification. Sitting, in itself, is a privilege. It has on one of the faces a trace of indigenous collage and a hole in the openwork central part. It remains admirable thanks to its very beautiful patina and its harmonious proportions.
