A Mid-20th Century Egyptian Style Adzed Pine and Animal Hide Saddle Stool

A rustic low stool or small bench designed in the Egyptian style, featuring a heavily adzed and hand-carved dark-stained pine frame. The construction comprises a thick, curved saddle-form seat with two circular apertures at the ends. The central portion of the seat is inset with a panel of natural short-haired animal hide in tan and black, fixed with a border of decorative brass-toned upholstery studs. The stool is supported by two angled A-frame legs, which are joined by a single transverse cylindrical stretcher secured on the exterior with tusk tenon joinery. The piece exhibits a coarse grain and visible chisel marks throughout. No maker’s marks are present.
