The tables above have sizes 42cm h X 60cm dia and 42cm h X 45cm dia.



These beauties are known as Bamileke stools and come from Cameroon and is an iconic piece of furniture from Africa.



They are also called African stools, king's stools, or bird nests and were traditionally used by the Bamileke tribe for public ceremonies.



Today they are also used for interior decoration and I sell them both wholesale and retail.



I cut them by hand from a continuous piece of wood.



To do this, the lumber would first be thrown into the river to soften it, and then the ornate web pattern would be hand carved into the hardwood.



Any break in the wood would mean that the part has been abandoned or this break is considered a break in the life cycle and therefore a bad omen.



The intricate pattern you see in these represents the earth spider web, a symbol of divine wisdom.



I make Bamileke stools in a variety of designs and sizes, which includes.



Dia 40cm X 45cm.



40cm X 50cm dia.



Dia 40cm X 60cm.



40cm X 70cm dia.



40cm X 80cm dia.



Note: The sizes above are approximate.



The above stools are basically made in 3 colors; natural brown, black and white.



In case you need other color, please let us know.



Bamileke stools are a gorgeous addition to a space, lending that organic and earthy touch that warms up a sleek, modern space.



They also work well in outdoor spaces, provided the proper lacquering.



So versatile and so fabulous !.
