Antique Folk Step Stool

Crafted by hand and softened by time, this antique step stool embodies utilitarian charm with sculptural silhouette. The silhouette—marked by graceful curves and negative space—feels almost whimsical in form, while the worn edges and deep, oxidized patina speak to generations of daily use. Likely intended for practical reach in a farmhouse kitchen or study, its sturdy stance and wide steps still hold firm. A functional accent for bookshelves, kitchens, or as a story-rich sculptural piece.
