A charming and practical vintage stool, beautifully refreshed with a vibrant tropical upholstery featuring hummingbirds and lush botanical motifs. The bold fabric sits wonderfully against the rich, dark wood frame, creating a piece that feels both characterful and contemporary.

The stool is sturdily constructed with square legs and a traditional stretcher base for strength and stability. Its simple, honest design suggests it was originally made as a utility or dressing stool, likely dating from the early to mid-20th century.

Possible Wood
The frame appears to be made from a dense hardwood with a deep, warm brown tone. Based on the grain, weight, and finish, it is most likely:
Oak (dark stained) – the most probable, given the straight grain and solid construction
or possibly
Mahogany or stained beech, both commonly used for sturdy domestic stools of this period.
The wood has a pleasing aged patina, with light wear consistent with use, adding to its authentic vintage character.
