{"product_id":"set-of-2-bamileke-carved-geometric-lattice-end-tables-trade","title":"Set of 2, Bamileke Carved Geometric Lattice End Tables (Trade)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis matching pair of 16-inch high stools is an exceptional find from the Bamileke people of the Cameroon Grassfields. Traditionally, these stools served as prestigious seats for royalty and high-ranking dignitaries during court ceremonies. The lattice-work design is a hallmark of Bamileke craftsmanship, representing the interconnectedness of the community and the strength of the tribal lineage. Each African stool is meticulously hand-carved from a single, solid block of indigenous hardwood. The openwork \"lattice\" or \"checkerboard\" motif is chiseled with remarkable precision, creating a rhythmic geometric pattern that allows light to pass through the body of the stool. The wood is finished in a deep, charcoal-toned ebony patina. The thick, circular tops and bases provide a heavy, grounded counterpoint to the airy, architectural carving of the central cylinders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold as a set of two, these stools offer incredible versatility for high-end interior design. Their 15-inch diameter makes them the perfect scale for flanking a fireplace, serving as twin side tables for a low-slung sofa, or acting as sculptural \"benches\" at the foot of a bed. The dark, geometric silhouette is a striking addition to a clean space, where they provide a sophisticated organic texture. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Era: Mid 20th Century\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Size: 15\"(L) x 15“(D) x 16“(H) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Material: Hand-Carved Monoxylous Hardwood (Single Block)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Color: Dark Brown\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Features: Openwork geometric lattice carving; solid circular top\/base; deep ebony patina.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Culture: Bamileke People\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Origin: Cameroon, West Africa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Condition: Excellent antique condition; sturdy with authentic historic surface wear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e**Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49606016106733,"sku":"IMG_9333","price":1845.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/5256\/files\/IMG_9333.jpg?v=1773432893","url":"https:\/\/de-cor.com\/products\/set-of-2-bamileke-carved-geometric-lattice-end-tables-trade","provider":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
