ming dynasty antique round stool appx 500 years old

Dynasties of Asia is very proud to offer this exceptionally rare collectors item.

This Round Stool was made over 500 years ago during the Ming Dynasty, and originated from the Shanxi Province. 

The wood for this stool is Huaimu, or Chinese Locust Wood, a very dense wood similar to northern elm or yumu characteristic of the northern regions of China.

The workmanship is remarkable and solid, and there is sufficient evidence of this stool having lacquer on the surface, which has been worn down and creates a patina that tells of centuries of various utilitarian functions. 

Dynasties of Asia notes that this museum-quality piece is very worthy of investment, and should be considered for the serious collector of fine antique Chinese furnishings.
