The Elephant(s) in the room.

Roaming wild here in the shop this afternoon is this family group of Elephant Ashanti stools, c.1930, led by their matriarch who carries an inlaid coffee table on her back. Traditionally these stools, carved from solid blocks of hardwood, come from Ghana in West Africa, home to the Ashanti people to whom the stool is a sacred object.
Table £295. Stools £135 each.
