Antique Gentleman’s High Stool - Saddle Seat & Brass Footrest for Bar or Counter
A stool for short stays and long memories - lean in, linger, and let it listen…
What should we call this stool? A tall tavern stool, a pub perch… I opted for a gentleman’s high stool, as I was feeling theatrical. It has that lean-in-and-linger silhouette, but not the plushness for prolonged wallowing. It’s the kind of seat that’s heard stories, held elbows, and maybe even caught a tear or two. Not the most comfortable for drowning sorrows - but perhaps that’s the point. A stool for short stays and long memories.
