{"product_id":"old-elm-saddle-stool-from-shanxi-3","title":"Elm Saddle Stool From Shanxi - 19th Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis characterful 19th-century elm saddle stool is crafted from a substantial slab of solid elm, hand-shaped into a gently curved “saddle” seat using traditional carpentry techniques. The thick, sculpted top sits on four sturdy legs joined by stretchers, creating a piece that is both practical and enduring. The simplicity of its construction highlights the beauty of the timber itself — visible grain, natural undulations, and a time-softened patina developed through decades of honest use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally used by farm workers, stools of this kind were everyday rural furniture, valued for their strength and portability. Today, their rustic charm and sculptural silhouette make them highly versatile — equally suited as a side table, bedside piece, or additional seating at a dining table. The understated form fits beautifully within relaxed, country, or shabby chic interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stool shows signs of age consistent with its history, including surface wear and possible later repairs, all contributing to its authentic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19th Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid Elm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional Mortise And Tenon Joinery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-Shaped Saddle Seat, Stretcher Supports, Rustic Patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Age-Related Wear With Possible Later Repairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W44 x D29 x H42 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BinderKing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53550988263733,"sku":"C2506V2","price":212.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/5243\/2181\/files\/Rustic_19th_Century_Elm_Saddle_Stool_With_Hand_Shaped_Seat_And_Stretcher_Supports_Showing_Natural_Patina_And_Age_Wear_C2506V2.jpg?v=1789232716","url":"https:\/\/binderking.shop\/products\/old-elm-saddle-stool-from-shanxi-3","provider":"BinderKing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
