La description

Three-legged stools were typical of some areas of Portugal’s Beira Baixa, namely Almeida. Its unique design is connected to the everyday life of farmers. The wood for these stools was extracted from the wheels of oxcarts and was used to build the seat, to which three branches of ash (the most resistant wood available in the region) were added. Besides being aesthetically original, the stool was also very functional, as it would never wobble no matter how uneven the surface was. It can still be seen in some old farmhouses. This piece of furniture was acclaimed in the most respected book on national vernacular architecture, the survey into Popular Architecture in Portugal (1961).
