Country Side Stool Console Table circa 1920This simple square stool is not only great for seating, but also works perfectly as a side table, either next to a bed or a sofa. Stools have been used at all levels of society in China for centuries and this one, with its classic 'horse hoof' feet and waisted seat, is typical of a style that was very common during the Ming dynasty and still survives today.
