Pair of Elm Stools with Replaced Rattan Seats

This pair of elm stools was made in Shandong province sometime in the first quarter of the 20th century.  Please look at the detailing of these stools.  The cuffed feet support legs connected by both an apron and a humpbacked stretcher.  Above the apron is a carved waist which supports the picture frame molded top.  This pair of stools  - although country - have definite classical style architectural elements.  Again, pairs of stools are getting harder and harder to find in China.  I'm lucky to have as many as I do.
