A signature of the Home Barn collection, we have been sourcing these wonderfully simple pieces for their individuality, history and ability to bring an authentic layer of age into contemporary interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach is a \u003cstrong\u003egenuine antique stool\u003c\/strong\u003e, handmade using traditional construction methods and bearing the beautifully irregular character that comes from decades of use. Predominantly crafted from elm, with occasional examples in oak, pine, cedar or mixed timbers, no two are ever quite alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTime has softened their edges and enriched their surfaces, leaving wonderfully tactile grain, old knots, cracks, historic repairs, remnants of paint and the knocks and markings of their previous lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is precisely this imperfection that makes them so special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAn Interior Design Favourite\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eantique elm stool\u003c\/strong\u003e has become something of an interior design icon, particularly within modern rustic, contemporary country and understated European interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoved by interior designers, stylists and collectors, their beautifully primitive form provides a counterpoint to more refined furniture. Place an old elm stool beside a contemporary bed, linen sofa or freestanding bath and its age immediately introduces warmth, texture and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse yours as a \u003cstrong\u003erustic bedside table\u003c\/strong\u003e, an occasional side table beside an armchair, a small bathroom stool, a place for books or simply as a sculptural antique object in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir relatively small scale also makes them an easy way to introduce a genuine antique into a contemporary home without changing an entire room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAntiques Are at the Heart of Home Barn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Home Barn, antiques aren't an afterthought to a contemporary interiors collection. \u003cstrong\u003eThey are fundamental to the way we believe beautiful homes should be created.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe love interiors that combine old and new: contemporary furniture alongside pieces that have already lived a life. Antique furniture introduces something that newly manufactured pieces simply cannot reproduce — genuine patina, individuality and a sense of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur rustic stools embody that philosophy perfectly. Simple, useful and wonderfully unpretentious, they have become a cornerstone of the Home Barn collection and one of the pieces that best represents our approach to \u003cstrong\u003eantiques in contemporary interiors\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoose Your Exact Antique Stool\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is particularly important to us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvery stool available through this listing is individually photographed and individually measured.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe don't simply show you a representative stool and select one at random.

These are genuine old stools rather than newly manufactured stools made to look antique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre all the stools made from elm?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost are elm, although we occasionally source examples made from oak, pine, cedar or a combination of old timbers. Where appropriate, differences can be identified within the individual option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan an antique stool be used as a bedside table?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbsolutely. Antique elm stools are particularly beautiful used as small rustic bedside tables, where their timeworn timber provides a wonderful contrast to linen, plaster, contemporary lighting and more refined furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow else can I style an antique wooden stool?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey work beautifully beside a sofa or armchair as an occasional table, in a bathroom beside a freestanding bath, beneath a console, beside a fireplace, or simply styled with a favourite book or object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy do antique stools vary so much?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey were individually handmade rather than factory produced and have subsequently experienced many years of use. Differences in construction, timber, dimensions, repairs and patina are consequently part of their character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre antique stools suitable for sitting on?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are genuine antique pieces and their condition and construction vary.
