Ashanti Stool – 140.1

The Ashanti Stool is a cultural masterpiece that reflects the heritage and artistry of the Ashanti people of Ghana. Traditionally carved from a single piece of wood, its crescent-shaped seat and symbolic carvings were reserved for chiefs and important figures, embodying reverence, status, and deep spiritual meaning. Inspired by the sacred Golden Stool – believed to hold the soul of the Ashanti nation – this piece is far more than furniture. It is a cultural artefact that brings history, artistry, and storytelling into your home.

✔ Hand-carved from a single solid piece of wood
✔ Crescent-shaped seat and symbolic carvings reflecting Ashanti tradition
✔ Inspired by the Golden Stool, a sacred symbol of Ashanti heritage
✔ Versatile as a decorative accent, cultural statement, or functional seat
✔ Each piece reflects the skill and artistry of Ashanti craftsmen

Dimensions
Length: 51 cm
Width: 24 cm
Height: 30 cm

Please Note
As each stool is hand-carved from natural wood, variations in grain, detail, and finish are to be expected, adding to the uniqueness and authenticity of every piece.

Further, most of our products are hand-made from solid wood, hence variation in size, colour, finish, texture, natural grain pattern, knots, movement of timber, etc are an integral part of the way products are naturally made and promoted. We strongly recommend that you have made yourself fully aware about the nature of our offered hand-made solid wood products to avoid any disenchantment at a later stage. We regret we will not treat any of the above variations as defects, as these are natural occurrences.

The below attributes are considered as part and parcel of our Handmade products. This is not an exhaustive list.

Different shades of wood or finish.
Slight design difference from picture – example the carving is not exactly the same as the published picture.
Small filler marks – as long as the extent of filler does not cover a high percentage of the piece.
Dimension differences – within acceptable levels. This applies to positioning of shelf or product height etc and not just overall dimensions.
Two pieces not being exactly the same – we already state that if a customer wants to ensure exactly matching pieces they must order ‘bespoke’ products
Fabric orientation – where the pictures on fabrics are not in exactly the same locations as on the photographs
Fabric colour different to picture – down to the difficulty in colour rendition of various computers
Gap around the drawers and doors to give room for change in temperature.
In Painted and screen printed items, a minor off-touch as the entire process is manually done and is not machine generated and variations do happen due to wood surface or otherwise.

Upholstered Furniture:
