EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Folding stool from the Eastern Empire, crafted with a remarkable combination of iron and bronze during the 2nd century AD. Standing at an impressive height of 49.2 cm, this ancient artifact is now part of a private collection. The stool's X-form frame exhibits intricate craftsmanship, featuring five rings along one horizontal side and three rings on the other. The long iron seat rails are threaded through these rings, providing stability and functionality to this folding piece of furniture. What truly sets this stool apart are its exquisite bronze inlays adorning the upper and side surfaces. Delicate geometric patterns including quatrefoil spirals, waves, X shapes, feather-patterns, keys, and chevrons create an enchanting visual spectacle. Although time has caused the original leather straps to be lost over centuries gone by, modern replacements have been thoughtfully attached to ensure its preservation. This photograph captures not just a chair or a seat but rather an extraordinary testament to Roman artistry and ingenuity. It serves as a tangible link between our present-day appreciation for aesthetics and the rich history that shaped it. Through this image brought to us by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder's vast collection, we can marvel at the beauty of ancient artifacts like this folding stool while acknowledging their significance in shaping our understanding of human civilization.
