Antique Stool - Elm

Antique Stool - Elm | Online8 New Zealand

Reclaimed elm stool with roughly 80 years of history in every board — a genuine antique handcrafted from aged elm timber for the modern New Zealand home. Warm tan tones, weathered textures and traditional joinery give it a soulful, Wabi-Sabi character, equally at home as a step stool, plant stand, rustic side table or decorative accent. Because the timber is genuinely reclaimed, natural variation in grain, colour and marks is expected — no two stools are ever the same.

Why It Stands Apart

• Reclaimed Timber (~80 years old): Built from solid, aged elm with decades of real history, prized for its density, durability and deeply textured grain.
• Warm Tan Tones: The natural finish brings out golden, honey undertones that add instant warmth to any interior.
• One-of-a-Kind Character: As a genuine antique, each stool carries its own knots, fissures and tonal shifts — a truly individual piece.
• Traditional Craftsmanship: Classic mortise-and-tenon joinery reflects time-honoured techniques built to last generations.
• Multi-Functional Design: Compact yet sturdy, ready to serve as a step stool, side table, plant stand or accent piece.
