Chinese Table with 4 Drum-Form Stools (Set)

Four little stools gather around a round table like children waiting for lunch.

This table with 4 drum-form stools comes from Hebei Province, China, and is contemporary. It is stone. Stone tables with drum stools are a long-standing fixture of Chinese gardens and courtyards, where they could stand out in all weather. The table has a broad round top with a rounded edge, set on a heavy baluster pedestal. The four stools echo it in miniature, each a turned drum with a flat round seat and a ringed foot. The stone is pale white with soft grey veining and faint marks. The table is 36 inches wide, 36 deep and 22 high.

A garden meeting with permanent seating.
