Rattan Bar Stools Appraisal

British West Indies Style Counter Height Bar Stools with Cane Backing

This set of four counter-height bar stools features a sophisticated British West Indies or Colonial Revival design aesthetic. Each stool is constructed from solid wood with a deep espresso or dark mahogany finish, characterized by elegant hand-carved details. The design is distinguished by its curved bergère-style silhouette, incorporating intricately woven natural cane on both the lumbar backrest and the side panels of the integrated armrests. The front legs exhibit classic ring-and-ball turned craftsmanship, while the rear legs are slightly flared for stability. A H-stretcher connects the legs for durability, with the front stretcher functioning as a footrest. While no specific maker's mark is visible, the craftsmanship suggests high-end residential manufacturing from the late 20th to early 21st century. The condition appears well-maintained, though minor surface abrasions and light finish wear are visible on the footrests and arm terminals, which is typical for frequently used seating. The cane weave appears tight and intact with no visible punctures. The stools are paired with a traditional wood-paneled kitchen island and granite countertop, reflecting a luxury interior design style.
