Pair Of Antique Tonga Stools Zimbabwe Africa

Description

Pair Of Antique Tonga Stools Zimbabwe Africa. These were consigned to me by a family member of the original owner. The woman’s grandfather was stationed in South Africa in the 1950s . Her mother lived there til she was 5 and they moved back to the US. They did a lot of traveling in Africa and purchased many wonderful items, including these stools. They measure 9.5” tall, the seats are concave and measure 14.25” across. The base is not an exact measurement on either. They are 12.25-12.75” across depending on where you measure. Common with these hand carved items. Each Stool is carved from one solid piece of wood. The finish looks to be some sort of shoe polish with a waxy finish to seal them. The owner was always told by her grandfather that this is how they were finished and to keep them from getting wet. Shipped with UPS ground.
