Details

Crafted from sese wood, this decorative throne stool owes its elegance to the deft hands of Nana Frimpong, a master carver who employs traditional motifs to create distinctive looks. Finished in mansion polish, the imperceptible radiance recalls the essence of Songhor Lagoon in Ghana. The design is of a unity symbol, its power enhanced by the geometric etchings on the seat. Makes a bold statement in any intelligent setting.

Care instructions: The throne's regal appearance may be maintained by using a dry cloth and shoe polish. Avoid using anything wet - including water or spray polish - when cleaning the throne.

“Perfect size for a small space”

This is just the right size to fit neatly in so many places. I reflect on the meaning each day as I leave the door of my bedroom where it reminds me to look honestly at the past and remember its lessons in order to build a better future.
