Foochow Wooden Stool

 

In the early years furniture for the shops and homes were very simple and spartan.

A stool like this was used as a dining stool. Although coffee shops might have the ubiquitous German chairs with marble tables many shops continued to use these wooden stools.

They were very sturdy and they could be stack probably up to ten stools together.

Good wood was oten used and they were made to last. No a single nail would be sued in their making.

Although the stool looks very simp;le a lot of craftsmanship has gone into its making.
